Features Comparison

GMI Cloud

Blackwell Capacity
GB200 NVL72, GB200 NVL4 and HGX B300 systems available alongside H100/H200
Inference Engine
Managed inference platform that runs models on top of the underlying GPU fleet
Reserved + On-Demand
Both hourly on-demand and longer-term private cloud reservations are published

Modal

Serverless GPUs
Run Python functions on NVIDIA GPUs without provisioning instances; cold starts in seconds
Per-Second Billing
Pay for actual GPU runtime at sub-minute granularity, with scale-to-zero by default
Container-Native
Define environments in code, with automatic image building and caching
Wide GPU Catalog
From T4 and L4 through A100, L40S, H100, H200 and B200

Pros & Cons

GMI Cloud

Advantages

Transparent published per-GPU hourly rates
Access to current Blackwell-generation systems
Managed inference offering layered on dedicated GPUs

Considerations

Smaller global footprint than hyperscalers
Newer entrant relative to long-established providers
Lower-tier GPU selection (L4, T4, etc.) is limited

Modal

Advantages

Serverless model removes idle-instance costs
Per-second billing across the full GPU range
Strong fit for inference, batch jobs and ML pipelines

Considerations

Long-running, fixed-instance training is not the primary use case
Cold starts and storage limits require some application design
No bare-metal access; workloads run inside Modal's runtime
