In sintesi

Modal is a serverless platform optimized for ML workloads. Deploy PyTorch, TensorFlow, or custom models without Kubernetes or container management. Modal handles scaling, GPU allocation, and billing per request. Teams using Modal report 60% faster ML deployment cycles. Senior ML engineers comfortable with serverless earn 15-25% premium. Mastery takes 4-6 weeks.

Cos'è Modal Labs Serverless ML

Modal Labs is a serverless platform purpose-built for machine learning. Instead of managing Kubernetes clusters or EC2 instances, you write Python functions, decorate them with @app.function(), and Modal handles deployment, scaling, and GPU allocation. Modal excels at inference (running pre-trained models), batch processing, and on-demand workloads. You pay only for compute time. Model loading happens once (containerized), then requests are routed to warm instances.

❓ Domande frequenti

How does Modal differ from AWS Lambda for ML?
Lambda requires zip archives, limited to 10GB memory. Modal designed for ML: supports large models (70B parameters), GPUs natively, containers. You write Python, Modal handles everything. Simpler than Lambda for ML workloads.
What's a Modal function?
A Modal function is a Python function decorated with @app.function(). Modal packages it, deploys to the cloud, and scales automatically. You call it like a normal function; Modal handles the infrastructure.
Can I use custom Docker images in Modal?
Yes. Define a Modal Image with dependencies (apt packages, pip installs). Modal builds and caches it. Your function runs in that image. Great for complex ML setups (CUDA, specific library versions).
How do I handle long-running tasks (>15 minutes)?
Use Modal's async queue system (function.spawn). Submit task, get handle back immediately. Poll for completion or set webhook callback. Modal handles cleanup. Perfect for batch inference or training jobs.
What's the pricing model?
Pay per second of computation + GPU time. No upfront costs. Cheaper than EC2 for bursty workloads. More expensive for always-on apps. Good for APIs that handle 10 requests/day or 10,000 requests/day equally.
Can I deploy Stable Diffusion on Modal?
Yes, and it's fast. Modal has optimized Stable Diffusion templates. Deploy in 5 minutes. First inference ~30s (cold start), then 3-5s per image. Per-second pricing beats running on EC2.
