INFERENCE SOLUTIONS
Dedicated Inference, Dedicated Engineers.
Our compute, our infrastructure, our GPUs - but your dedicated forward-deployed Modular engineers. Dedicated endpoints on $/minute pricing with the full power of the Modular stack.

Why choose Dedicated Endpoints?
Dedicated endpoints on $/minute pricing
Reserved GPU capacity dedicated to your workloads. Simple per-minute billing that makes cost forecasting straightforward. No per-token surprises. No cold start penalties. Your endpoints, always warm, always compiled, always optimized.
DEDICATED COMPUTE. PAY PER MINUTE.
NVIDIA and AMD GPU selection
Choose the GPU that fits your workload's price-performance profile. MAX compiles natively for both NVIDIA and AMD - switch between vendors as pricing and availability shift. No other shared inference endpoint offers AMD. That's a pricing lever only Modular can give you.
GPU VENDOR CHOICE = PRICING LEVERAGE
Forward-deployed engineers
Your dedicated Modular engineer profiles your production traffic, identifies latency bottlenecks, writes custom MAX architectures and Mojo kernels, and pushes optimizations to your deployment. Not quarterly business reviews - weekly optimization cycles. Not support tickets - engineers who ship code to your stack.
CUSTOM ENGINEERING, NOT GENERIC OPTIMIZATION
Custom model deployment
Bring your own model - fine-tuned, custom architecture, or proprietary weights. We can convert those to highly optimized MAX graphs. Upload and Modular Cloud compiles and serves it with the same $/token pricing. Custom Mojo kernels available for novel architectures. OpenAI-compatible API endpoint out of the box.
ANY MODEL. CUSTOM KERNELS. MANAGED INFRA.
Compiler-optimized, not wrapper-optimized
Other providers wrap vLLM or TensorRT and call it optimization. Modular's MLIR compiler fuses the entire inference path - graph, runtime, memory, scheduling - into a single compiled unit. Compilation is a deeper lever than configuration. That's why MAX is 2x faster.
FULL GRAPH COMPILATION VS. RUNTIME TUNING
90% smaller runtime, faster scaling
MAX runtime is under 700MB. Alternatives ship 7GB+. That means new replicas start in seconds, not minutes. Model swaps are near-instant. Storage and bandwidth costs drop dramatically at scale. Cold starts that feel warm.
<700MB VS 7GB+. 10X FASTER COLD STARTS.
Top AI models, or your custom ones
Our forward-deployed engineers optimize every deployment for SOTA performance - whether you're running a top open model or a custom model.
- Build with popular models
- Deepseek R1
Frontier-class models (V3, R1) built for complex reasoning, coding, and math — at dramatically lower inference cost than comparable proprietary models.
- LLM
- Coding / Reasoning
- KimiK2.5
Moonshot AI's 1T parameter MoE model optimized for agentic tasks, tool use, and coding.
- LLM
- Coding / Multimodal
MiniMaxLarge-scale MoE model (456B params) optimized for long-context tasks up to 1M tokens.
- LLM
- Coding
- Build by specific use case
Modular vs. the competition
- Hardware Portability
GPU portability. NVIDIA + AMD in the same deployment, meaning more options and lower TCO.
- Embedded Performance Engineering
Forward-deployed engineers who write custom Mojo kernels, on top of BentoCloud’s proven scalable operations.
- Unified GPU Pricing
Simple pricing for $ / token for shared endpoints, and $ / minute for dedicated ones.
- Vertically Integrated Stack
SOTA dynamic cloud orchestration. Compiler-aware auto-scaling. MAX understands model memory, batching state, KV-cache. Mojo provides portable SOTA kernels.
- 10x Lighter Runtime
<700MB runtime. 10x faster cold starts. Simpler operations.
- Alternatives
- Vendor Lock-In
NVIDIA-only. Zero GPU vendor choice across every managed cloud competitor.
- Generic Platform Optimizations
No per-customer engineering. No dedicated engineers on your account. Generic optimizations applied everywhere.
- Blackbox infrastructure & pricing
No visibility into quantization, batching, or what's been done to your model. You're paying for a black box.
- Runtime Wrappers
CUDA research (ATLAS, Megakernel). vLLM/TensorRT wrappers. Runtime optimization, not compilation.
- Multi-GB Runtime
7GB+ runtimes. Slow cold starts. Heavy container overhead.
