The Mojo language (by Modular, now Qualcomm) is now open-source
Modular has open-sourced its Mojo programming language under the Apache 2.0 license, aiming to accelerate AI development across heterogeneous hardware. The company also announced native Windows support to expand the language's reach to a broader developer ecosystem.
Why it matters
Open-sourcing Mojo could significantly lower barriers for developers building AI applications, potentially challenging existing software stacks in the AI hardware industry.
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:
Heterogeneous compute is here, and it has a single, open software platform.
