  • Summary: Modular published that Qualcomm has completed its acquisition of the company. The announcement commits to continuing Mojo, MAX, and Modular Cloud as products and brands with expanded investment, and to the open heterogeneous ecosystem. It names Chris Lattner as Executive Vice President of Advanced AI Software and Platforms.
  • Why it matters: Mojo, MAX, and Modular Cloud now sit inside a silicon vendor, which is the governance question for anyone who adopted a language and kernel stack sold on running well across CPUs, GPUs, NPUs, and custom silicon.
  • Follow-up: Watch whether Mojo and MAX releases keep support for non-Qualcomm accelerators at the current pace.
