About RunPod
Squaring up to Modal with a decorator-based Python SDK while seeding a creator marketplace for AI models.
Runpod has compounded its GPU-cloud surface in three directions over the past year: a Modal-style Python SDK (Flash) that runs decorated functions on serverless GPUs across multiple datacenters, a Hub marketplace where model authors can earn 7% of compute revenue, and a steadily widening shelf of Public Endpoints (SORA 2, Kling, WAN, Qwen3, Granite 4.0, Chatterbox). Slurm Clusters and cached models support the heavier-end HPC and inference workloads.
