Skill instructions

Modal Serverless GPU Guide to running ML workloads on Modal's serverless GPU cloud platform. When to use Modal Use Modal when: - Running GPU-intensive ML workloads without managing infrastructure - Deploying ML models as auto-scaling APIs - Running batch processing jobs (training, inference, data processing) - Need pay-per-second GPU pricing without idle costs - Prototyping ML applications quickly - Running scheduled jobs (cron-like workloads) Key features: - Serverless GPUs: T4, L4, A10G, L40S, A100, H100, H200, B200 on-demand - Python-native: Define infrastructure in Python code, no YAML - Auto-scaling: Scale to zero, scale to 100+ GPUs instantly - Sub-second cold starts: Rust-based infrastructure for fast container launches - Container caching: Image layers cached for rapid iteration - Web endpoints: Deploy functions as REST APIs with zero-downtime updates Use alternatives instead: - RunPod: For longer-running pods with persistent state - Lambda Labs: For reserved GPU instances - Sk
