Modular Raises $250M in Third Round to Unify AI Compute

Modular has partnered with SF Compute to address a fundamental asymmetry in the AI ecosystem: while model capabilities advance exponentially, the economic structures governing compute costs remain anchored in legacy paradigms. 

Given time, budget, and expertise from a team of veterans who’ve built this stack before, Modular set out to solve one of the defining challenges of our era: how to Democratize AI Compute. But what does that really mean—and how does it all add up?

Modular is excited to announce a partnership with Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD), one of the world’s leading AI semiconductor companies. This partnership marks the general availability of the Modular Platform across AMD's GPU portfolio, a significant milestone in heterogeneous AI computing infrastructure. Effective immediately, developers can deploy the Modular Platform on AMD's flagship datacenter accelerators, including the MI300 and MI325 series.

In this post, we’ll break down how Python eDSLs work, their strengths and weaknesses, and take a close look at Triton.
