Modal Blog: How Modal Accelerates AI Research That Accelerates AI Research

Modal, a cloud infrastructure platform for data- and compute-intensive AI workloads, highlights research from Hazy Research, Scaling Intelligence, and IRIS that used its GPU fleet to speed up AI research. The KernelBench project, led by Scaling Intelligence's Anne Ouyang, Simon Guo, and Will Hu, provides a 250-problem benchmark and research environment for automated GPU kernel generation, using Modal for consistent, scalable benchmarking across hardware from L40s to Blackwell systems.
