The nature of computing is changing at an unprecedented speed, driving an explosion of new hardware architectures to support applications powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Both hardware and software development are at an inflection point, particularly in the infrastructure layers supporting machine learning and AI.

Today's platforms haven't yet scaled to meet the market where there is clear demand for a seamless software layer enabling a heterogeneous set of compute options. The software driving today's hardware is fragmented, difficult to use, and largely either built by research groups inside universities and large corporations, or custom-made and proprietary for the particular hardware stack being created.

We believe there's an opportunity for a more broadly-available software layer to emerge, which is why we are leading the first round of funding for Modular, investing alongside Greylock and Factory. Founded by top AI infrastructure visionaries with deep experience building for high-performance AI systems, Modular focuses on solutions that abstract hardware and mask software complexities. They've been around long enough to know that "fixing" AI as it stands would just serve as a patch; at this point, a modular rewrite of the underlying software layer is necessary.
