The Case for a Next-Generation AI Developer Platform

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has yet to fully realize its transformative potential across various sectors due to fragmented and monolithic software infrastructures primarily developed by Big Tech companies for their own needs. Despite the abundance of data, algorithms, and hardware, AI's impact remains limited because these systems were not designed as consumer-friendly products. Modular is addressing this challenge by creating a next-generation AI developer platform that emphasizes usability, flexibility, and scalability, enabling organizations of all sizes to efficiently harness AI capabilities without the constraints imposed by current tech silos. By unifying AI framework interfaces and improving access to diverse hardware and cloud environments, Modular aims to expedite AI deployment and innovation, moving the industry from research-centric to production-centric, ultimately empowering developers globally and fostering a more equitable technological landscape.
