Product updates: WebSocket support, interactive commands & more

Modal’s 2024 updates add interactive container commands through `modal container exec`, enabling users to inspect running jobs, monitor processes, and troubleshoot environments directly. The platform now supports WebSockets for Modal functions, allowing applications built with frameworks such as Streamlit to be hosted more easily, and it has introduced NVIDIA H100 GPU availability. Client improvements include decorator-based build lifecycle hooks, automatic background commits for Volumes, expanded Volume CLI operations, enhanced Sandbox management, image-specific import declarations, private Docker registry authentication, and dictionary clearing, with a detailed changelog available for ongoing updates. Modal also highlights new example projects, including Turbo.art, rapid English Wikipedia embedding, and LLM fine-tuning workflows, while inviting users to share their own work through its community Slack.
