AI innovator leverages Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure to serve low-latency, real-time production AI
workloads at scale
LAS
VEGAS, Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle
CloudWorld -- Modal Labs, a serverless platform for AI,
ML, and data developers, is using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
AI infrastructure to deliver faster, more cost-effective
inferencing, fine-tuning, and batch processing for its customers.
OCI powers Modal's platform by providing it with access to a
variety of OCI Compute bare metal instances with
significant price-performance advantages.
"OCI provides the scale and performance we need to run large AI
workloads faster, without incurring excessive compute costs," said
Erik Bernhardsson, founder and CEO,
Modal. "Oracle is hard to beat when it comes to price, performance,
and the level of support it provides. With Modal on OCI, our
customers can scale up hundreds of nodes and down to zero within
seconds, while only paying for what they use and reducing their
reliance on fragmented solutions."
Modal accelerates the development and deployment of AI models by
allowing data and engineering teams to run code in the cloud
without having to configure or set up the necessary infrastructure.
Modal provides developers that are using generative AI to create
new applications, such as those used to compose music or design
novel protein structures, a platform that delivers fast and
reliable GPUs. With OCI, developers building on Modal can ship
code, get their data and AI models into production, and test
applications at a much faster speed. Modal uses OCI's bare metal
compute instances to meet the varying demands of developers
building on Modal. By shifting its workloads to OCI, Modal has seen
drastic improvements in performance.
"A lack of technology infrastructure and GPU availability often
leads to a loss in production and higher costs for organizations
trying to deploy AI," said Mahesh
Thiagarajan, executive vice president, Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure. "OCI AI infrastructure provides
the highest-tier performance and value for all AI
workloads across Oracle's distributed cloud, so customers can
easily deploy AI infrastructure wherever they need it."
OCI AI infrastructure delivers capabilities to accelerate AI
deployments
AI innovators like Modal are leveraging OCI's purpose-built AI
capabilities to run the most demanding AI workloads faster and more
reliably. OCI bare metal GPU instances can power
applications including natural language processing, computer
vision, and recommendation systems. Oracle's dedicated engineering
support team works with customers from planning to launch to help
ensure success.
