Modular, a Qualcomm company

MiniMax designed H3 for hardware compatibility from the earliest stages, then opened the weights so people could run it across even more silicon. Morgan Suo, Head of US Business Development, joins ModCon '26 to share what open-weight omni-context generation enables for AI video. Aug 18, Grand Hyatt SF.

Building frontier models involves a hundred decisions rarely discussed publicly: when to stop scaling, what data to keep, how to differentiate, whether to release the weights. On August 18th at ModCon '26, Paige Bailey of Google DeepMind, Joseph Spisak of Reflection AI, Victor Su-Ortiz of MiniMax, and Varun Randery of Poolside are talking through the challenges of the industry from four different vantage points.

ModCon 2026, live from San Francisco. We're streaming the mainstage all day, starting with the 9:00 AM PT keynote. Chris Lattner and Tim Davis open with where Modular Platform stands today and what we're building toward next. After that: a Modular Cloud deep dive, plus panels, fireside chats, and tech talks with leaders from across the AI stack. Chat is open all day. Bring your questions about MAX, Mojo, and Modular Cloud.

Mojo 🔥 1.0 is here. Since we open-sourced the standard library, nearly 200 contributors have landed more than 1k+ pull requests, changing 200k+ lines of code, and more than 1k+ others have filed issues that shaped the language. To every developer who filed an issue, opened a pull request, wrote a language proposal, or built a package: thank you for being the architects of this language alongside us. The point of 1.0 is not that the language is finished. It's that you can now build on a solid foundation without constant breaking changes. During 1.x, changes should primarily be additive. Breaking changes may still happen, but they'll be managed with care, following the standards of how mature languages evolve. We're making this commitment now because Mojo is ready – we depend on it every day in production at Modular. New in MAX in this release: install just what you need with max["serve"] or max["benchmark"] and two new model families: GLM-5.2 and Nemotron-H. Get started today with `uv pip install --upgrade mojo` or `uv pip install max[all]` More on where Mojo, MAX, and open source go next at ModCon, August 18 in SF.

Looking forward to seeing d-Matrix Fellow and Distinguished Architect Satyam Srivastava take the stage at ModCon 2026, alongside leaders shaping the future of AI infrastructure. As AI workloads grow in scale and complexity, heterogeneous infrastructure is emerging as a critical path forward by offering greater flexibility and efficiency. Join us at ModCon on August 18 in San Francisco, where Satyam will share his perspective on the shift toward heterogeneous AI systems and what it means for the next generation of AI compute. #ModCon2026 #AIInfrastructure #AIInference #dMatrix

Most data centers were built on old assumptions: big training jobs, homogeneous fleets, and plenty of time to plan capacity. Inference broke all three. At ModCon '26, Jay Jackson (SVP, Oracle Cloud) and Jeff Tatarchuk 🌊 (Co-Founder & CGO, TensorWave) join us for a fireside chat to weigh in on the future of the data center.

Modular has joined Qualcomm. We know our developer community has questions about what this means for the products you build with, the open source projects you depend on, and where things go from here. Join Chris Lattner (Modular cofounder & EVP, Advanced AI Software & Platforms at Qualcomm), Tim Davis (Modular cofounder and SVP/GM at Qualcomm), and Durga Malladi (EVP and GM, Technology Planning, Edge Solutions & Data Center at Qualcomm) for a live Ask Us Anything. We'll share an update on the acquisition and open the floor for your questions. Please submit questions here: https://lnkd.in/gq8b8VkS

Ask us anything about the Qualcomm acquisition. Chris Lattner, Tim Davis, and Durga Malladi are answering live today at 12PM PT. Submit questions: https://lnkd.in/gvuQGD5r Join: https://lnkd.in/g2Fp6wzz

Micah Hill-Smith (Artificial Analysis) and Dylan Patel (SemiAnalysis) know more about the current state of AI compute than almost anyone. They're both joining our Analyst Perspectives fireside chat at ModCon on August 18th. Moderated by our own Tim Davis.
