Modular

AI's unified compute layer — Mojo language + MAX serving stack across NVIDIA/AMD
Modular is building a unified compute layer for AI — a portable software stack that lets developers run inference and training workloads efficiently across NVIDIA, AMD, and other accelerators without rewriting code. Founded in 2022 by Chris Lattner (creator of LLVM, Swift, MLIR, and Apple's compiler infrastructure) and Tim Davis, the company ships Mojo (a Python-superset systems language) and MAX (a high-performance serving framework). Modular reports that MAX 25.6 delivers 20–50% performance gains over vLLM and SGLang on NVIDIA B200 and AMD MI355. Total raised: $380M including a $250M Series C in September 2025 at a $1.6B valuation, led by the U.S. Innovative Technology Fund.
