FAQPage Schema
How do I run GPU inference workloads without a local GPU?

You can run GPU inference workloads on a serverless cloud environment using Modal. It provides zero-config deployment and auto-scales to zero, eliminating local hardware requirements and setup overhead.

What is the best way to deploy model training scripts without configuring Docker?

Serverless GPU platforms like Modal offer zero-config deployment for model training. They handle environment reproduction and local code mounting automatically, bypassing Docker complications and SSH setup overhead.

Can I use Modal for both batch processing and fine-tuning tasks?

Yes, Modal supports serverless GPU execution for batch processing, fine-tuning, and inference. It provides scalable, on-demand compute that auto-scales to zero, making it suitable for cost-efficient experiments and rapid prototyping.

Do I need to manage SSH connections to scale GPU workloads on Modal?

No, you do not need to manage SSH connections. Modal handles zero-setup deployment and automatic scaling automatically, allowing you to execute scalable GPU workloads directly from a launcher script.

How does local-first development work with serverless GPU environments?

Local-first development in serverless GPU environments uses code mounting to sync local scripts to the cloud. This provides reproducible environments without requiring manual Docker configuration, streamlining rapid prototyping.

When should I avoid using serverless GPU compute for training?

You should avoid serverless GPU compute if your workload requires persistent state management or continuous execution, as serverless environments auto-scale to zero and are optimized for on-demand, scalable experiments rather than always-on processes.
