# Modal

An AI infrastructure platform that sells on-demand GPU compute for inference, training, batch processing, and sandboxes to AI developers.

**Route:** surfaced by the AI Development and Deployment Infrastructure lane's de-branded queries → competitor to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Sells the same AI cloud infrastructure capability—GPU compute for inference, training, and sandboxes—to the same frontend and AI developers who would shortlist Vercel for AI workloads.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> High-performance AI infrastructure

> Run inference, training, batch processing, and sandboxes

> Autoscale from 0 to 1000+ GPUs, instantly
