Building AI’s unified compute layer.

🚀 Mission

AI is powerful - but expensive, fragmented, and locked into a few hardware ecosystems. We believe everyone should have the freedom to build and run AI anywhere, without limits. Our mission: make AI’s compute layer unified, efficient, and accessible to all.

🤔 Problem

After decades working at the world’s largest tech companies, we saw the same barriers everywhere—high costs, complex tools, and closed platforms. These limit AI’s reach to a privileged few, stifling innovation and slowing real-world impact.

💡 What we’re doing about it

We’re building modular and composable infrastructure that simplifies AI development and deployment. Our products—MAX for scalable AI deployment and Mojo for high-performance, Python-compatible development—work together to break barriers, unify compute, and put world-class AI capabilities in the hands of every developer.
Modular and composable infrastructure that simplifies AI development and deployment is what the world needs.

💥 How it started

Chris Lattner & Tim Davis met at Google, frustrated by AI’s fragmented infrastructure. Determined to accelerate AI’s global impact, they founded Modular—a team of top AI infrastructure leaders reinventing accelerated compute so anyone, anywhere can build production-grade AI software.
