Production agentic use cases

  • Enterprise workflow automation

    Agentic workflows chain dozens of LLM calls per task - document processing, decision routing, tool use, verification loops. Every millisecond of latency compounds across the chain. MAX's compiled inference and Modular Cloud's dedicated endpoints keep each call fast and predictable. Forward-deployed engineers optimize the full pipeline for your specific workflow patterns.

    COMPILED INFERENCE FOR EVERY LINK IN THE CHAIN

  • AI coding agents

    Code agents generate, review, test, and iterate in tight loops - often 10-50 LLM calls per task. Speculative decoding and compiler-fused inference keep each call fast. Serve DeepSeek Coder, Qwen Coder, or your fine-tuned model on NVIDIA or AMD with the same compiled performance. Scale on Modular Cloud as your engineering team adopts the agent.

    10-50 CALLS PER TASK. EVERY CALL COMPILED.

  • Voice-to-action agents

    Real-time voice agents chain STT, reasoning, tool calls, and TTS into a single conversational turn. The user hears every millisecond of latency. MAX serves the full multimodal pipeline - speech, language, and audio models - from one container with compiler-fused performance. No stitching together separate inference stacks for each modality.

    ONE PIPELINE. SPEECH, REASONING, AND ACTION.

  • On-device enterprise agents

    Some agent workflows can't leave the device - legal review on a laptop, field service on a tablet, classified environments with no connectivity. MAX compiles agent models natively for Apple Silicon and ARM CPUs. Run the reasoning loop locally with zero cloud dependency. Upgrade to cloud endpoints when connectivity and scale demand it.

    AGENTS THAT WORK OFFLINE. UPGRADE TO CLOUD WHEN READY.

  • Multi-agent orchestration

    Production multi-agent systems route tasks across specialized models - a planner, a coder, a reviewer, a summarizer. Each model needs low-latency serving with consistent throughput. Modular Cloud serves all of them from the same infrastructure with OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Mix model sizes across NVIDIA and AMD. Scale each agent independently. One platform, not four inference stacks.

    ONE PLATFORM FOR EVERY AGENT IN THE SYSTEM.

  • Why Modular for agentic AI?

  • Multi-step workflow performance

    Agentic workflows chain planning, reasoning, execution, and verification into sequential LLM calls. Latency stacks linearly - a 50ms improvement per call saves 2.5 seconds across a 50-step chain. MAX's compiled inference and continuous batching keep every step fast and predictable. Forward-deployed engineers profile your specific workflow patterns and optimize accordingly.

    50MS SAVED PER CALL. SECONDS SAVED PER CHAIN.

  • Hardware-portable agents

    Run your agent stack on NVIDIA or AMD from the same container. Mix GPU types across agent roles - a large planner model on B200s, smaller tool-call models on MI355X for better price-performance. Shift workloads as pricing and availability change. No other agentic infrastructure supports multi-vendor GPU.

    MIX GPU VENDORS ACROSS AGENT ROLES

  • On-device autonomous agents

    MAX compiles agent models natively for Apple Silicon and ARM CPUs. Run reasoning loops locally with zero cloud dependency - legal review on a laptop, field diagnostics on a tablet, classified environments with no connectivity. Same model, same code. Upgrade to Modular Cloud endpoints when scale demands it.

    AGENTS THAT WORK OFFLINE. SCALE TO CLOUD WHEN READY.

  • Structured output at compiler speed

    Agents need structured output - JSON, function signatures, typed tool calls - not free-form text. MAX's compiled inference generates constrained output faster because the compiler understands the output schema at graph level. Faster structured generation means faster agent loops, fewer retries, and more reliable tool execution.

    CONSTRAINED DECODING, COMPILED INTO THE GRAPH.

  • Compiler-optimized tool calling

    Agents live and die by tool call latency. Every function call, API lookup, and retrieval step is an LLM round-trip. MAX's MLIR compiler optimizes the full inference path so each call completes faster - and in agentic loops with 10-50 calls per task, that compounds into seconds saved per interaction. Serve on Modular Cloud with dedicated endpoints for consistent, low-latency tool use.

    EVERY TOOL CALL COMPILED. EVERY ROUND-TRIP FASTER.

  • Modular vs. the competition

      • Hardware Portability

        Agents on NVIDIA, AMD, and Apple Silicon. Deploy the same agent workflow across GPU vendors for cost optimization, resilience, and edge execution.

      • Compiler-Optimized Agent Loops

        In agentic loops with 10-50 calls per task, compiled inference compounds into seconds saved per interaction. Our Cloud serves every call with dedicated, low-latency endpoints.

      • Forward-Deployed Engineers for Agent Workloads

        Your dedicated Modular engineer profiles your specific call patterns, optimizes batch sizes for mixed model sizes, and tunes structured output generation for your tool schemas.

      • On-Device + Cloud Agents

        Start agents on-device with silicon for privacy-sensitive workflows - healthcare, legal, finance. Scale to Modular Cloud when traffic and complexity demand it.

      • Custom Agent Architectures in Mojo

        Build novel reasoning strategies, custom tool routers, and speculative planning in MAX + Mojo with full kernel control. Compile for any hardware target.

    • Alternatives
      • Runtime Tool Calling

        JSON validation as a post-processing step, not compiled into the graph. Higher latency per tool call, compounding across agent loops. A wrapper-based stack adds seconds.

      • Generic Platform Optimization

        No per-customer engineering for your agent's specific call patterns, model mix, or traffic profile. Same optimizations for a chatbot and a 50-step workflow.

      • Cloud-Only Agents

        No on-device deployment path. All data transits to GPU fleet. Cannot meet air-gapped, on-device, or edge compliance requirements. Agents that need to run locally simply can't.

      • Vendor Lock-In

        NVIDIA-only across every managed cloud competitor. All agents locked to one GPU vendor. No pricing leverage on the high-volume agentic workloads. No on-device path.

      • Config-Only Customization

        No kernel access. No ability to build novel agent execution strategies, custom tool routers, or proprietary reasoning loops. Your agent looks like everyone else's.
