| Notes | NOT a turnkey inference API: Modal is a serverless GPU compute platform where you deploy your own model-serving code (any open-weights model), unlike hosts such as Groq or Fireworks that expose a ready-made model catalog. There is no fixed inference base URL — each deployment gets its own endpoint — hence base_urls is empty and no model records exist. Classified conditional_free because the headline $30/month credit requires adding a payment method ($5/month without). No turnkey inference endpoint: you deploy your own model and get a per-app URL; api.modal.com is the platform API root, recorded to satisfy routability checks — do not route completions here. |
