Tidbyt is joining Modal

Modal has acquired Tidbyt, a New York-based maker of programmable LED smart-home displays, primarily to bring aboard its co-founders Rohan Singh and Mats Linander, whose backgrounds include container infrastructure work at Spotify and experience building large-scale systems. Tidbyt has shipped 100,000 consumer devices and developed expertise in hardware operations, customer acquisition, and business management, which Modal expects will complement its cloud infrastructure platform for data, AI, and machine-learning teams. Existing Tidbyt devices and services will continue operating, although no new devices will be shipped. Modal, whose customers include Suno and Substack, provides compute infrastructure for workloads such as GPU inference, LLM fine-tuning, and large batch processing.
