Notebooks

High-performance GPU Notebooks

Modal Notebooks combine an intuitive interface with near-instant cold starts. This gives you the flexibility to run everything from lightweight experiments to large-scale multi-GPU training jobs.

Everything you need to build, iterate, and scale

Go from idea to running code in seconds.

  • Instant cold-starts

    Start a notebook running ML on high-performance GPUs in under 5 seconds.

  • Fast iteration

    Run code, see results, and refine ideas in real time, with the responsiveness needed for research and exploration.

  • Swap GPUs on the fly

    Switch from CPUs to up to 8 Nvidia H100s or B200s in just one click.

Compute

GPU 2

Nvidia H100

80 GB @ $3.95/h

Nvidia T4

16 GB @ $0.59/h

Nvidia A10

24 GB @ $1.10/h

Nvidia L40S

48 GB @ $1.95/h

Built on massively scalable infrastructure.

  • Petabyte-scale storage

    Use Modal's global distributed file system (Volumes) to work with massive datasets.

  • On-demand GPUs priced by the second

    Access the latest GPUs without reservations. Pay only for what you use, down to the second.

  • Leverage the rest of the Modal stack

    Notebooks can call Modal Functions and share Volumes and Secrets with all of your Modal Apps.

Designed by developers, for developers.

  • Real-time collaboration

    Multiple cursors, live edits, and shared context like in Google Docs—no more emailing .ipynb files.

  • Automatic idle shutdown

    Never waste money on a kernel you forgot to close down again, or configure if you need control.

  • Modern AI code editing

    Pyright type checking, rich outputs for visualizations, and AI-powered edit suggestions help you move fast.

“Modal Notebooks have been incredible for sharing ML research across Suno. Engineers and designers can start playing with cutting-edge models minutes after they're finished training.”
Victor Tao ML Research Engineer, Suno
“Other platforms like Colab didn't have the capacity we needed. We love how Modal Notebooks lets us scale up any amount of GPUs and compute.”
Arda Göreci Co-founder & CTO, Ligo Biosciences
“Testing different GPUs on the fly has massively accelerated our workflow for profiling models. Tasks that used to take days now take minutes.”
Simran Makariye Machine Learning Engineer, Sync
