Peeling back the layers @modal_labs. Previously data & ML platform @canva. dms open.
Modal was originally built with CPU batch in mind, but the GenAI wave certainly swept us up :)

We love working with computational bio/chemistry customers on their mostly CPU-intensive batch workloads. modal.com/use-cases/co...

If you want a demo let me know :)

What didn’t you like about Modal’s exp? We’re actively working on it, being dissatisfied about certain areas.

To learn about container snapshotting I highly recommend Tristan Hume's telefork repostory. I forked it and started hacking on file descriptor restore: github.com/thundergolfe....

Once PID restore works there's a good chance a simple NVIDIA GPU checkpoint/restore would pass!
GitHub - thundergolfer/telefork: Like fork() but teleports the forked process to a different computer!

Ha all too true. I wouldn’t even get 100% and I just reviewed the post. Still, we aspire…
