modal

modal is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dralkh/seerai. It costs 65 tokens per session (3,882 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of modal, MIT.

A cloud service for running Python code when needed, including jobs that use graphics processors (GPUs). It can run machine-learning models, web endpoints, scheduled tasks, and parallel batch work without managing servers directly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to train, fine-tune, or serve AI models; run GPU-heavy calculations; expose Python code as web APIs; process batches in parallel; and schedule recurring jobs.
Why use it?
It removes much of the work of setting up and scaling cloud machines for Python workloads. It can provide computing resources only when jobs need them and store model files or datasets between runs.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

modal scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 457 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

Modal is a cloud platform for running Python code serverlessly, with a focus on AI/ML workloads. Key capabilities:

  • GPU compute on demand (T4, L4, A10, L40S, A100, H100, H200, B200)
  • Serverless functions with autoscaling from zero to thousands of containers
  • Custom container images built entirely in Python code
  • Persistent storage via Volumes for model weights and datasets
  • Web endpoints for serving models and APIs
  • Scheduled jobs via cron or fixed intervals
  • Sub-second cold starts for low-latency inference

Everything in Modal is defined as code — no YAML, no Dockerfiles required (though both are supported).

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Deploy or serve AI/ML models in the cloud
  • Run GPU-accelerated computations (training, inference, fine-tuning)
  • Create serverless web APIs or endpoints
  • Scale batch processing jobs in parallel
  • Schedule recurring tasks (data pipelines, retraining, scraping)
  • Need persistent cloud storage for model weights or datasets
  • Want to run code in custom container environments
  • Build job queues or async task processing systems

Installation and Authentication

Install

uv pip install modal

The Modal Python SDK supports Python 3.10–3.14. This skill targets the stable modal>=1.0 API (current release: 1.4.x).

Authenticate

Prefer existing credentials before creating new ones. Only the two Modal-specific variables below are relevant — do not read, load, or expose any other environment variables or .env file contents:

  1. Check whether MODAL_TOKEN_ID and MODAL_TOKEN_SECRET are already set in the current environment.
  2. If not, look up only those two keys in a local .env file (ignore all other entries) and load them if appropriate for the workflow.
  3. Only fall back to interactive modal setup or generating fresh tokens if neither source already provides those two values.

This opens a browser for authentication. For CI/CD or headless environments, use environment variables:
