Modular 25.4: One Container, AMD and NVIDIA GPUs, No Lock-In

Modular Platform 25.4 is a significant release that introduces official support for AMD GPUs, allowing developers to build and deploy high-performance AI models with enhanced flexibility and reduced costs. This update, enabled by a new partnership with AMD, supports seamless code portability between AMD and NVIDIA GPUs, eliminating vendor lock-in and enabling enterprises to optimize their AI deployments across different hardware platforms. The release showcases substantial performance improvements for language model workloads on AMD GPUs, often surpassing NVIDIA's performance in specific tasks. Additionally, the platform expands its model ecosystem with new quantized and multimodal models, enhances its documentation and developer experience, and introduces Python–Mojo bindings for seamless integration of high-performance Mojo functions within Python applications. Modular 25.4 also opens its AI kernel library for community contributions, inviting developers to participate in advancing AI infrastructure. Alongside these updates, the platform hosts events like a hackathon and workshops to engage the community and further explore the potential of Modular's capabilities.
