Use when running Python or GPU workloads serverlessly on Modal — modal.App, inline container Images, gpu= on @app.function, Volumes for weight caching, Cron schedules, ASGI endpoints, modal run vs serve vs deploy. NOT managed prediction APIs with no container of your own (that is replicate); NOT SSH-able GPU boxes rented by the hour (that is runpod).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Modal — serverless Python & GPU as decorators Modal runs your Python on remote containers without you ever writing a Dockerfile or a YAML file. The mental model: **infrastructure is declared inline as Python decorators.** A `modal.App` is the deployable unit; each `@app.function` runs in its own container built from a `modal.Image` you describe in code; you attach a GPU, a Volume, or a Secret as keyword arguments and the platform provisions, scales to zero, and tears down for you. There is no control plane to babysit — the source file *is* the infra. Pinned stack: **modal 1.4.3** (released 2026-05-18), Python **3.10–3.14** (`>=3.10,<3.15`). Install with `pip install modal` then `modal setup` to authenticate. Everything below uses the Modal 1.0+ API; several pre-1.0 forms were removed and are called out as Bad→Good. ## Not this skill Modal owns the serverless-container-as-decorators surface and its CLI lifecycle; the *contents* of your function belong elsewhere. | The job | Goes to | |---|---| …

How to install
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/modal@sha256:fe2dc54cbc75c16bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.bd66119, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
