description: Modal is a serverless cloud for AI, data, and general compute. Developers define infrastructure as code in Python
  (with JavaScript and Go SDKs) and run functions, GPUs, sandboxes, web endpoints, cron jobs, and volumes on demand. The primary
  developer interface is the Modal SDK and CLI communicating with a gRPC backend, not a conventional first-party REST API.
  User-deployed Modal Functions can be exposed as HTTPS web endpoints (@modal.fastapi_endpoint / asgi_app / wsgi_app / web_server)
  on *.modal.run, and Sandboxes can expose ports via network tunnels.
