description: Modal is a serverless cloud for AI, data, and general compute. Developers
  define infrastructure as code in Python (with JavaScript and Go SDKs) and run
  functions, GPUs, sandboxes, web endpoints, cron jobs, and volumes on demand.
  The primary developer interface is the Modal SDK and CLI communicating with a
  gRPC backend, not a conventional first-party REST API. User-deployed Modal
  Functions can be exposed as HTTPS web endpoints (@modal.fastapi_endpoint /
  asgi_app / wsgi_app / web_server) on *.modal.run, and Sandboxes can expose
  ports via network tunnels.

  description: Decorate Python functions with @app.function to run them remotely on

    (.spawn), in parallel (.map), or look them up from another app via
    Function.from_name. This surface is SDK/gRPC-only - there is no first-party
    REST endpoint; invocation happens through the Modal client libraries.

  description: The genuine HTTPS surface of the platform. User functions decorated
    with @modal.fastapi_endpoint, @modal.asgi_app, @modal.wsgi_app, or
    @modal.web_server are auto-deployed as HTTPS endpoints on *.modal.run. The
    URL shape and request/response schema are defined by the developer's own
    code, so the accompanying OpenAPI is representative of a typical user
    endpoint, not a fixed Modal-owned contract.

    control is SDK/gRPC-only; a running sandbox's tunneled port is the only HTTP
    surface, and its shape is user-defined.
