#ModCon2026# highlighted the momentum behind heterogeneous computing and open AI infrastructure. With @Qualcomm, d-Matrix, and others working across the @Modular ecosystem, open standards are enabling more choice across CPUs, GPUs and XPUs.

Looking to get started with MAX? At ModCon 2026, Ehsan M. Kermani @ehsanmok and Bingfeng Xia went layer by layer through the stack: MAX Serve, the framework, and the Mojo kernel library, ending with a live agent bringing up a new model end to end. Start here:

Today's AI software is fragmented. Every accelerator has its own compiler, kernel libraries, runtime, and development path. Developers absorb the cost of this fragmentation. In his ModCon 2026 tech talk, Abdul Dakkak, Chief Scientist at Modular, presents our alternative: a unified compute layer, flexible enough to extend to new models, modalities, and hardware. Abdul walks through our recipe for bringing up new hardware, demonstrated with three examples: 1. AWS Trainium, via our own team. Gemma 4 31B end to end. 2. Google TPU v6e, through our partner @HTECgroup. Their team brought it up with no LLVM backend to lower to, no prior knowledge of Mojo or MAX internals, and minimal support from us. 3. d-Matrix Corsair, implemented by @dMatrix_AI's own team on their own stack. Repo access Tuesday, working matmul by the following Monday. Thanks to HTEC and d-Matrix for their collaboration, and to Mihailo for presenting HTEC’s learnings.

If you looked at Mojo in 2024, liked it, and decided to check back later, later is now. Last month, the language hit 1.0, beginning a new epoch of stability for Mojo. The full Mojo language also went open source under Apache 2.0, including the compiler and more. Now is a great time to start building with Mojo. Clone the repo, build the compiler yourself, and learn from its unique MLIR internals and full commit history. At ModCon 2026, Brad Larson (Staff PM, Mojo) and Denis Gurchenkov (Senior Director, Mojo Compiler Engineering) walked through why Modular built a language at all, what stability means in the 1.x series, and a hint of what's next:
