Why This Matters

The open-sourcing of the Mojo language by Qualcomm and Modular marks a significant milestone in AI and hardware integration, promoting broader industry collaboration and innovation. By supporting heterogeneous hardware and removing restrictions, this move empowers developers and accelerates the development of advanced AI applications across diverse platforms.

Key Takeaways

Four and a half years ago, Modular made a bet: AI would not run on one kind of silicon forever, and the software stack would need to be rearchitected for a world of heterogeneous hardware and increasingly complex AI workloads.

At the ModCon keynote this morning, we showed what that bet has become. The Modular Platform is now production-ready, serving billions of tokens per minute and powering real enterprise deployments. We’re opening more of the platform to the ecosystem, extending it across entirely new classes of hardware, and bringing major industry partners along with us.

More specifically, Modular and Qualcomm announced:

Mojo 1.0 is now fully open source under an Apache 2.0 license.
