Build AI for
anyone, anywhere.

Our mission is 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.

We believe that AI is a net positive force in the world and will help transform it for the better.

Our vision and mission are to reinvent AI infrastructure to advance humanity.

We aim to push the whole world of AI forward, not just a select few companies and products.

After working for years at the world’s largest technology companies, scaling the world's largest AI work loads, building the hardware that powers them, and deploying AI to billions of mobile phones and edge devices, we saw that fragmentation and technical complexity held back the impact to a privileged few.

We need to rethink the current AI systems and infrastructure from first principles to make it easy for anyone to leverage AI to solve the world’s most critical problems with software that just works.

Modular and composable infrastructure that simplifies AI development and deployment is what the world needs.

Together, as Modulers, we are a team of the world's best AI infrastructure leaders who are reinventing and rebuilding accelerated compute for everyone.

How it started

Chris Lattner and Tim Davis met at Google and felt AI was being held back by overly complex and fragmented infrastructure. Motivated by a desire to accelerate the impact of AI on the world by lifting the industry towards production-quality AI software, they founded Modular.
