Modular Platform 25.3: 450K+ Lines of Open Source Code and pip Packaging
Blog post from Modular
Modular Platform 25.3 marks a significant advancement in AI deployment by integrating MAX and Mojo into a unified suite of open-source libraries and tools aimed at enhancing accessibility and community-driven development. The release includes the open sourcing of MAX AI kernels and the Mojo standard library under the Apache 2.0 License, featuring high-performance, hardware-optimized code for a variety of CPUs and GPUs. This initiative is complemented by a new pip-based packaging system, which simplifies installation and integration with the Python ecosystem, enabling users to run MAX models in Google Colab. The updated community license allows for greater flexibility in using Mojo and MAX for non-commercial and commercial purposes, with the aim of fostering an open AI ecosystem. To celebrate, a community hackathon will be held, showcasing opportunities for developers to experiment with GPU kernels using Mojo and contribute to the evolving AI landscape.
