It’s going to be a long winter for every security team out there. Be nice to them.

Think we’ll come out of the winter with really good defensive use of AI for security though.

Some projects are only done for shareholder value. This one was done for the love of the game, literally! My favorite online game, Curvytron, is now backed by the Sticky Sessions primitive my team recently shipped :) curvytron.modal.dev/#/ Shoutout to @siwonpark_, @ksinpoint1, and @kathirmeyyappan for embodying the @modal spirit and shipping this with speed.

Curvytron - A multiplayer tron-like game... with curves!

The ultimate addictive multiplayer game, come and play with friends or fellow workers !

It can be simultaneously true that we’re going to need a shit ton of GPUs and that the equity return of owning GPUs isn’t going to be super high. I’m biased but I think most value will accrue in the software layer – applications and infrastructure.

The secret to Modal's speed is our custom lazily loaded container filesystem, ImageFS. ImageFS is built on a massive tiered distributed filesystem, layering local NVMe disks, regional and p2p caches, and global blob stores. When we launched VM Sandboxes this month, we wanted to make sure they could take advantage of ImageFS in the same way our gVisor containers do. To do that, we built out a new filesystem stack that tricks a VM's ext4 driver into thinking it's talking to a normal disk.

I met approximately 1e3 neolabs in London started by ex-DeepMind researchers. Quite bullish on the city.

Today we're announcing that Modal has crossed $1B in annualized run rate, as well as raised a $750M Series D at a $15.75B valuation, led by @Accel. Since our Series C, usage has tripled and we’ve grown more than 15x year-over-year. We are deeply grateful to the developers and companies building on Modal. There's still so much more to build, and we can't think of a better time to be building software.

These businesses are cash machines! I think an interesting question is what's the right capital structure for them. Think there's a decent argument they should not get stuck on the venture capital treadmill. At some point just get to positive cash flow and issue dividends.

I’ve had 3 diff people tell me they are 100% sure this “fastest to $1B annualized revenue” is 3 diff companies. Very likely more than 1 data co has recently hit that mark, many of which are on Pavlov’s List. Many more will get there in the next 6mos. Total data spend is >$15B.

Jev launched on a Thursday. By Sunday, the @TypeSafeAI team had served a trillion tokens with no signs of slowing down. Learn how they scaled Jev on Modal.

The math results yesterday are truly incredible. This one for instance. I spent a ton of time implementing different integer multiplication algos back in school. The time complexity of this new algorithm is so deeply psychotic and unsettling lol.

Like, for this to matter, you have to multiply numbers that are something like 2^2^182 _digits_. So insane and impressive though.

6th place is pretty cool I guess, but next year we'll be top 5!

We threw our first conference last week in SF. Tons of cool people and talks. A very high correlation between being cool and being there. Anyway, this is the keynote, in which I announced a bunch of Modal features. We also launched 1M sandboxes in a minute for fun!
