What is Modal?
Modal helps people run code in the cloud. We think it's the easiest way for developers to get access to containerized, serverless compute without the hassle of managing their own infrastructure.
How to use Modal?
To use Modal, developers can run generative AI models, batch jobs at scale, job queues, and more. They bring their own code, and Modal handles the infrastructure. Installation involves running 'pip install modal' followed by 'python3 -m modal setup'.
