FAQs
What is MAX?
MAX is a free and permissive AI inference framework that enables developers and enterprises to develop and deploy AI inference workloads on any hardware type, into any type of environment (including into production).
What is Mojo?
Mojo is a new programming language that has the expressiveness of Python, with the performance of C. Mojo is a member of the Python family and powers critical parts of our infrastructure. Mojo is completely optional to use, as MAX supports Python, C++ and other languages natively.
What is MAX Enterprise?
MAX Enterprise is a cloud platform we are developing for enterprises who seek managed services and enterprise support from us for AI infrastructure.
What kind of licenses are MAX and Mojo governed by?
MAX and Mojo are governed by a modified Business Source License which we call the MAX & Mojo Community License.
Why did you choose these licenses for MAX and Mojo?
For MAX and Mojo, we took the modified BSL approach because it allows enterprises, developers, and our rapidly expanding community to copy, modify and redistribute their applications under a wide range of conditions, including use in production.
What kinds of applications can I build under the MAX & Mojo Community License?
You are free to build, extend and develop anything on top of MAX and Mojo, including products and services that you want to monetize or that you can derive an income from (i.e. content on YouTube, Twitch, etc.), and you can put them in production.
What is a Competitive Activity?
To ensure that we can drive a commercial model for our business, we define a Competitive Activity as building a commercial, publicly available product or service whose primary purpose is to provide AI infrastructure services to third parties, or associated paid support for this purpose.
What if Modular expands its products and services in the future?
If you want to build software that is not competitive today, but becomes competitive in the future, the License protects you – it will not be considered competitive. You will be free to continue to develop, iterate and extend your application.
How much do I have to pay to use MAX?
MAX is free to utilize and deploy in research and production environments on your own infrastructure, as long as your use case is not a Competitive Activity.
Can I host MAX myself for production?
Yes, you are free to use MAX to build any production applications you want, including deploying MAX yourself, as long as your use case is not a Competitive Activity.
Can I embed the MAX framework into software I distribute?
Yes, just make sure your application is not a Competitive Activity and follows the terms of the License.
Are there any scale limitations in the use of the MAX framework?
No limitations, you may scale MAX to any workload and size you need for supported hardware.
Can I get enterprise support for the MAX?
Yes, that is available under our MAX Enterprise version of MAX. You can learn more on our Enterprise page, or contact our Sales Team.
Will MAX Enterprise offer managed cloud services?
Yes, we are building a managed AI cloud platform for MAX Enterprise with early design partners for AI infrastructure services. Please Contact Sales if you are interested in becoming an early partner.
How do I refer to the MAX & Mojo Community License in my OSS or private repository?
You are free to license your code with the relevant license you choose (i.e. MIT etc). For MAX and Mojo, please call back to our license directly from your repository’s README, similar to how we do this on MAX and Mojo Github Repositories, or include a copy of our license directly.
