Modular also has its paid platform for serving models called Max. I’ve not used that but heard good things.
There seem to be enthusiasts who have experimented a bit and like what they see but I haven’t seen much else.
Basically, you need a good description of the hardware and the compiler automatically generates the state of the art GEMM kernel.
Maybe it's 20% worse than Nvidia's hand written kernels, but you can switch hardware vendors or build arbitrary fused kernels at will.
Modular has been pushing the notion that they are building technology that allows writing HW-vendor neutral solutions so that users can break free of NVIDIA's hold on high performance kernels.
From their own writing:
> We want a unified, programmable system (one small binary!) that can scale across architectures from multiple vendors—while providing industry-leading performance on the most widely used GPUs (and CPUs).
