The "Android Moment" for AI Infrastructure: Why Modular Just Raised $250M


Listen Later

While everyone obsesses over which AI model is smartest, a quiet revolution is happening in the infrastructure layer underneath. Modular just raised $250M at a $1.6B valuation to solve a problem most people don't know exists: AI is locked into expensive, vendor-specific hardware ecosystems. Tim Davis, Co-Founder & President of Modular, joins us to explain why his company is building the "hypervisor for AI"—making it possible to write code once and run it on any GPU, from NVIDIA to AMD to Apple Silicon. We dive into why this matters for businesses, what the Android analogy really means, how companies are seeing 70-80% cost reductions, and whether we're even on the right path to superintelligence.
