Replaceable as a UI, but kept alive as the API the agents call.
“Modal's core value is actual GPU hardware provisioned on demand with sub-second cold starts — an LLM can't conjure a physical A100. The coordination moat is real: Modal abstracts away container builds, secrets, scaling, and billing into a Python decorator, which is genuinely hard to replicate without the underlying infrastructure contracts. The threat isn't LLMs replacing Modal; it's AWS, GCP, and Replicate commoditizing the same abstraction. Developer experience is the current differentiator, and that erodes fast.”

Go deeper on the coordination layer — own the model registry, caching, and batching logic so switching costs compound. Lock in high-volume inference customers with committed-use pricing before the hyperscalers clone the DX.
