Modal 产品更新：支持 WebSocket、交互式命令与 H100 GPU

We’ve been busy in 2024 so far, bringing you WebSockets, interactive commands, H100s and more. Learn about what’s new at Modal.

🐚 Interactive commands

You can use modal container exec to run interactive commands inside active Modal containers. Inspect the filesystem of an in-progress job, monitor processes, or debug environment issues.
