SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Modal Cloud GPU removes the pain of provisioning GPUs, configuring environments, and managing SSH/Docker by letting you run training and inference jobs serverlessly on demand.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Zero-config serverless GPU runs: execute GPU workloads via modal run without SSH, Docker, or manual scaling.
  • Auto scale-to-zero: billing stops when your task finishes, preventing idle-instance costs.
  • Launcher generation for common GPU patterns: supports one-shot experiments, web/API services, high-performance vLLM inference, batch processing, LoRA fine-tuning, and multi-GPU distributed training.
    Use case: you want to run a benchmark for a 7B BF16 model quickly, compare GPU options by estimated $/hr, and then generate and run the right Modal launcher to produce results without setup overhead.

Quick Start

Ask for GPU cloud execution: "Estimate the Modal cost for my model run, select an appropriate GPU, and generate a ready-to-run Modal launcher for training or inference."

FAQPage Schema
How do I run GPU training and inference without managing SSH or Docker?

Serverless GPU execution on Modal runs training and inference workloads without SSH or Docker setup. You execute tasks via generated launchers, and billing automatically stops when your workload finishes to prevent idle-instance costs.

Can I estimate cloud GPU costs before executing my model training workload?

Yes, mandatory cost estimation occurs before any execution. The workflow compares GPU options by estimated $/hr based on your specific model parameters, ensuring you select an appropriate GPU and understand the compute cost before generating a launcher.

What's the best way to deploy a persistent inference endpoint on serverless GPUs?

Generating a ready-to-run Modal launcher for web/API services deploys persistent inference endpoints. This supports high-performance vLLM inference and scales to zero automatically, eliminating idle-instance costs while maintaining endpoint availability.

Does serverless GPU execution support multi-GPU distributed training and LoRA fine-tuning?

Yes, launcher generation supports multi-GPU distributed training and LoRA fine-tuning patterns. It also handles one-shot experiments, batch processing, and standard model training by generating the appropriate Modal execution configuration automatically.

How do I generate a Modal launcher for a quick 7B BF16 model benchmark?

Request GPU cloud execution and the workflow estimates costs, compares GPU options by estimated $/hr, and generates a ready-to-run Modal launcher. This allows you to execute the benchmark and produce results without manual environment setup overhead.
