Production inference platform offering both pre-optimized Model APIs (Llama, DeepSeek, and more, billed per token) and dedicated GPU/CPU deployments for custom models, billed per minute with no charge for idle time. Custom models are packaged with its open-source Truss format and autoscale, including scale-to-zero. Aimed at low-latency, high-throughput serving.

Capabilities 6

What it actually does — grouped by capability family.

  • Model inference / serving (primary capability)
  • Multi-model access (primary capability)
  • GPU compute (secondary capability)
  • Fine-tuning / training (secondary capability)
  • Embeddings (secondary capability)
  • App / agent deployment (secondary capability)

Pros & cons

  • Prebuilt Model APIs for Llama, DeepSeek
  • Dedicated GPU/CPU deploys for custom models
  • Open-source Truss packaging format
  • Production-grade observability and autoscaling
  • Dedicated GPU rates run pricier than Modal
  • Per-replica cost doubles for redundancy
  • Engineering effort to package custom models
