Why together · 01
Why this combo works.
Modal hosts Python functions on demand-allocated GPUs. Next.js calls them via HTTP. Useful for fine-tuned model inference, custom RAG, or unusual Python deps.
Setup
Define Modal functions, deploy via modal CLI, expose web endpoints, call from Next.js.
Gotchas
- Cold starts with GPUs
- Pricing scales with GPU time
- Python deps add complexity
- Auth pattern needs design
