Company mission

To have real, positive impact in the world by reinventing the way AI technology is developed and deployed into production with a next-generation developer platform.

Our take

AI development is booming, but the tools behind it? Not so much. Developers are often stuck dealing with messy, disconnected systems that slow everything down and bump up costs.

To address this, Modular has developed a unified AI platform that streamlines the development process. It's AI Engine enhances the performance of models on CPUs and GPUs, supporting popular frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch. And on top of that, it's built Mojo, a programming language that's as easy as Python but much faster (35,000 times faster).

In 2023, the company raised an impressive $100M to power its mission. It's been using this funding to grow its team, support more hardware, and push Mojo even further. With the hopes of making AI development faster, smoother, and a whole lot more fun for everyone.
