This edition covers one of the busiest stretches in Modular's recent history: four days at GTC, a new office on another continent, fresh community builds, and a release that expands what MAX and Mojo🔥 can do. Here's everything that's been happening across the ecosystem.

Today, BentoML is joining Modular.

Today the "Inworld TTS 1 Max" model (powered by the Modular Platform) is in #1 position on the Artificial Analysis speech leaderboard!

Modular Raises $250M in Third Round to Unify AI Compute

Modular has partnered with SF Compute to address a fundamental asymmetry in the AI ecosystem: while model capabilities advance exponentially, the economic structures governing compute costs remain anchored in legacy paradigms. 

Modular is excited to announce a partnership with Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD), one of the world’s leading AI semiconductor companies. This partnership marks the general availability of the Modular Platform across AMD's GPU portfolio, a significant milestone in heterogeneous AI computing infrastructure. Effective immediately, developers can deploy the Modular Platform on AMD's flagship datacenter accelerators, including the MI300 and MI325 series.

Today, Modular is excited to announce a partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), the world’s leading and largest cloud server provider. Together, we are bringing the benefits of the MAX Platform to AWS production services everywhere, powering innovative AI features for billions of users around the world.

The era of Generative AI is upon us. Companies around the world are exploring how it can transform their businesses, yet most are finding it challenging to economically and efficiently deploy these larger and more complex models into production.

‍ModCon 2023 is Modular’s first ever conference and we’d like to invite you to join us on Dec 4th in San Francisco. ModCon includes a full day of keynote presentations, panels, lightning talks, and workshops from industry experts and the Modular team. 

We are happy to welcome Mostafa Hagog to Modular, who recently joined to lead our high performance numeric kernels, graph compiler, and low level heterogeneous runtime teams! These technology areas are critical low-level components of our AI Engine, and are directly responsible for delivering state of the art performance across many categories of hardware.
