Product updates: L40Ss, proxy auth tokens, and sandbox disk snapshotting
Blog post from Modal
Modal has introduced NVIDIA L40S GPUs at $1.95 per hour, offering 48GB of memory and substantially improved performance over A10 GPUs for larger models, longer contexts, and memory- or compute-intensive workloads. The platform also added proxy authentication tokens to restrict access to web endpoints, a Filesystem API and disk snapshotting for Sandboxes to support interactive file operations, state restoration, branching, and reduced cold starts. Other client updates include automatic `.dockerignore` handling, file-pattern loading, volume renaming, sandbox file watching and larger write payloads, environment selection in `App.run`, and configurable Docker images for VSCode launches. Modal additionally announced SOC 2 Type 2 certification, published a GPU glossary, highlighted resources for protein modeling, OCR, and diffusion-model deployment, and noted its biotech community dinners.
