In the provider's words
Starter: 100 containers + 10 GPU concurrency, 5 crons, 1-day log retention
The catch
Recurring monthly credit, not a one-time trial. Modal is serverless compute you deploy models on, not a hosted model API. A payment method on file is required to use Modal at all.
Free models: not listed yet.
Get started
This is a first-party API, not OpenAI-compatible, so there is no drop-in base URL. The endpoint, the key and a working example are in the official docs.
