Modal has about four full-time capacity procurement staff and a ten-person engineering team handling global bare-metal capacity and operational issues.

“Like, we have, like, four guys working full-time, basically. All they're doing is, like, procuring capacity, calling the clouds, you know, doing deals, vetting the capacity. We've had to build a whole engineering team, basically ten people just, like, managing, like, bare metal capacity from all over the world and dealing with network issues and bad drives and GPUs falling off the bus and, and all these things. We don't own capacity.”
