Modular

Modular develops a software development platform designed to rebuild existing AI infrastructure. The AI developer platform unifies popular AI front-end frameworks via common interfaces and enables access and portability to a range of hardware backends and cloud environments. AI developers can use the tools provided by the platform by integrating them into existing workflows without rearchitecting or rewriting code. The platform aims to achieve a general improvement of workflow efficiency.

The company is concerned with the challenges larger models present for existing AI infrastructure and developer workflows, such as that the development of large models can be inhibited by tools that are not equipped to manage large quantities of data, upwards of 100 gigabytes. This can lead to a workflow bottleneck, inhibiting AI deployment and reducing the ability to rapidly initiate iterations. Modular's platform is designed to circumvent such problems.
