Our take
Modular has been developing a programming language optimized for developing AI software, to make it easier for developers to complete their AI projects faster and more effectively.
Most of the time, developers will write AI models in Python because of its relatively simple and concise syntax. However, with this simplicity comes performance issues that can slow down programs and code, a problem that Modular hopes to address.
The company's language, named Mojo, combines the usability of Python with the performance of C; which, the company says, brings unparalleled programmability of AI hardware and extensibility of AI models.
With significant funding at its back, the company plans to enhance Mojo moving forward, as well as invest in its other product - a software tool called AI Engine that is designed to make companies’ neural networks faster.
