What does Modular do?
Modular builds a unified AI compute platform that lets developers run AI models across NVIDIA, AMD, and other hardware without rewriting code per chip. Its stack includes MAX, a high-performance inference/serving framework, and Mojo, a Python-superset systems language that compiles to C/CUDA-class performance. Founded by Swift creator Chris Lattner and ex-Google TensorFlow lead Tim Davis, it positions itself as an open alternative to the CUDA lock-in.
