20 Modal alternatives

Modal: Serverless GPUs from a Python decorator — deploy models and batch jobs with no containers or cluster to manage. 20 apps do similar work, most sharing Developers, Inference and Hosting, ranked by how much they have in common with Modal.

Back to Modal

  1. Run thousands of open models with one API call, and deploy your own without touching Kubernetes.

    Also: Developers, Hosting, Inference, Serverless

  2. Production inference for open and custom models — fast, autoscaling, and deployable into your own cloud.

    Also: Developers, GPU, Hosting, Inference

  3. Reactive TypeScript backend platform built so AI coding agents can ship features without breaking things.

    Also: Developers, Hosting, Serverless

  4. Inference, fine-tuning, and GPU clusters for open models — the full stack for teams building on open weights.

    Also: Developers, GPU, Inference

  5. Inference on custom LPU hardware, built for latency — open models served at speeds general-purpose GPUs struggle to match.

    Also: Developers, GPU, Inference

  6. The open-source AI hub: over a million models, hundreds of thousands of datasets, and hosted demo Spaces.

    Also: Developers, Hosting, Inference

  7. Unsloth AI

    Open-source desktop app to run, serve and fine-tune text, image, video and audio models entirely on your own machine.

    Also: GPU, Inference

  8. Simulate how fast a local LLM runs on a given GPU or Mac before you buy the hardware.

    Also: GPU, Inference

  9. Secure cloud sandboxes where AI agents can run untrusted code safely, starting in milliseconds.

    Also: Developers, Python

  10. Document parsing and retrieval built for agents — turn messy PDFs into structured, queryable context.

    Also: Developers, Python

  11. The framework and observability platform most teams use to build, debug, and ship LLM agents.

    Also: Developers, Python

  12. Mimo GmbH

    Interactive coding courses with an AI tutor, covering Python, JavaScript, React, SQL and AI-assisted development through structured career paths.

    Also: Developers, Python

  13. Open-source LLM observability — trace, evaluate, and improve AI applications with production data.

    Also: Developers, Python

  14. The multi-agent framework where agents have roles and collaborate as a crew — plus a platform to run them in production.

    Also: Developers, Python

  15. One API and one bill for hundreds of language models, with automatic failover between providers.

    Also: Developers, Inference

  16. Privacy-first AI gateway putting 600+ models from 90+ providers behind one OpenAI-compatible API, with no prompt or output logging.

    Also: Developers, Inference

  17. ngrok

    A hosted LLM gateway from ngrok: one base URL and one key for public providers, your own keys and self-hosted models, with failover, scoped access and cost analytics.

    Also: Developers, Inference

  18. A generative media platform tuned for speed — image, video, and audio models served with very low latency.

    Also: Developers, Inference

  19. Cursor

    Cursor's Git forge for the agentic era — host repos, review pull requests and let coding agents work in the same place.

    Also: Developers, Hosting

  20. Browser-based coding platform whose AI Agent builds, edits, and deploys full-stack apps from natural-language prompts.

    Also: Developers, Hosting
