Modular acquires BentoML to deliver production AI in the cloud!  - Read more

Faster AI coding infrastructure on any hardware

The inference backbone for AI-powered code editors and developer tools. Serve coding LLMs with compiler-optimized latency on NVIDIA, AMD, and Apple Silicon — from cloud to on-device.

Why AI coding companies choose Modular

  • Compiler-native speculative decoding

    Code generation thrives on speculative decoding - draft tokens from a smaller model, verified by the full model in a single pass. MAX compiles both models and the verification logic as one fused graph through MLIR. No runtime coordination overhead between draft and target. Faster time-to-first-token and higher throughput on the long completions code generation demands.

    DRAFT + VERIFY COMPILED AS ONE FUSED GRAPH

  • GPU vendor flexibility at scale

    Code completion traffic is massive and sustained - every keystroke can trigger inference. Run on NVIDIA or AMD from the same container and shift workloads based on price-performance. When you're serving millions of completions per day, GPU vendor choice compounds into significant cost savings.

    MILLIONS OF COMPLETIONS. GPU CHOICE MATTERS.

  • 90% smaller serving footprint

    Code generation at scale means thousands of model replicas. MAX's <700MB runtime versus 7GB+ alternatives means 10x faster replica spin-up, dramatically lower storage costs, and simpler orchestration. When a new model version drops, roll it out across your fleet in seconds, not minutes.

    <700MB PER REPLICA. 10X FASTER ROLLOUTS AT SCALE.

  • Custom attention and decoding strategies

    Building a novel speculative decoding strategy? Sliding-window attention for code-specific patterns? Repository-aware context management? Write it in Mojo with full kernel access. Compile once for any GPU target.

  • The best code LLMs

    Kimi K2.5, DeepSeek V3.2, and every major code-optimized model - pre-optimized and ready to serve out of the box. New code models land in MAX within days of release. Run them on NVIDIA or AMD with zero configuration. Fine-tuned a code model on your proprietary codebase? Deploy it on the same infrastructure with the same compiled performance.

    THE LATEST OPEN WEIGHT CODING LLMS. READY FOR YOU.

  • Production use cases

    • Inline code completion

      Real-time autocomplete as developers type. The workload that defines AI coding: sub-200ms TTFT, high throughput during business hours, graceful scaling during off-peak. MAX continuous batching handles traffic spikes without latency degradation. Fireworks serves Cursor at 3X cost savings — Modular adds hardware portability on top.

    • Code chat, Q&A, and code review

      Conversational code assistance with long-context models. Serve 256K+ context windows efficiently with MAX KV-cache optimization. Same model serves chat, completion, and review endpoints from one deployment. Sourcegraph achieved 2.5X higher fix acceptance on Fireworks — Modular delivers the same compiler-level optimization with GPU portability.

      Chat interface with a message requesting review of a pull request highlighting highest-risk issues. Below, a repository analysis summary shows 14 files scanned, 5,239 lines analyzed, and 128K context window utilized. A code review suggestion titled 'Improve KV cache reuse' is marked with a high-priority P1 label.
    • Agentic coding workflows

      Multi-step code generation, testing, and iteration. AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Devin) require high-throughput batch inference alongside low-latency interactive completions. MAX serves both workload patterns from one deployment — on whichever GPU has the best price-performance.

      Code testing interface showing 32 tests executed in 2.1 seconds with 1 failure detected; failure cause is inference server not using continuous batching. Progress steps labeled Prompt, Generate Code, Run Tests (highlighted), Fix Errors, and Deploy.
    • On-device developer tools

      Local code completion on developer laptops using Apple Silicon GPU inference. For air-gapped enterprise environments, classified codebases, or zero-latency offline development. No other inference platform offers a cloud-to-device portability path for coding models.

    Modular vs. the competition

    At scale, the math is simple. A Cursor-class product serving 1M developers at 10 requests/keystroke makes billions of inference calls per day. The GPU bill is the single largest cost line. Hardware portability isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s the difference between profitable and underwater.

      • Hardware Portability

        Serve on whichever GPU has the best price-performance this quarter. NVIDIA today, AMD tomorrow, both for resilience. Negotiate from strength.

      • Efficient Runtime Footprint

        90% smaller runtime = lower storage, bandwidth, and cold start costs across your fleet. At 10,000 GPU instances, this is millions per year.

      • Hybrid Cloud + On-Device

        On-device inference shifts variable workloads to user hardware. Hybrid cloud + local for cost-efficient burst capacity.

      • Cross-GPU Speculative Decoding

        Compiler-native speculative decoding across all GPU targets. Same speed optimization, any hardware.

    • Alternatives
      • Vendor Lock-In

        NVIDIA-only. No pricing leverage. When demand spikes, you pay whatever NVIDIA charges.

      • Bloated Runtime Footprint

        7GB+ runtime per instance. Storage and bandwidth costs compound across every instance in your fleet.

      • Cloud-Only Architecture

        Cloud-only. Every keystroke hits your GPU fleet. No local offload path. No hybrid architecture.

      • Hardware-Specific Optimization

        Speculative decoding on NVIDIA only (FireAttention, vLLM). Rewrite required for any other target.hitecture.
