Mojo 1.0 Language and Tooling Now Open Source Under Apache 2.0 License

Mojo 1.0 Open-Sourced

Modular has announced that its Mojo 1.0 language, including its compiler and all tooling, is now fully open source under the Apache 2.0 license. This follows the recent release of Mojo 1.0, which provides a stable foundation for developers. The open-sourcing initiative allows the community to extend the language, port it to new platforms, and develop applications.

Expanded Platform Support

The Modular Platform has expanded its hardware support to include AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 and Qualcomm Dragonfly accelerators, in addition to existing CPU and GPU support. This expansion reflects Modular's focus on heterogeneous computing environments for AI workloads. The Modular Cloud is also publicly available and in use by enterprise customers.

Native Windows Support Incoming

Mojo, which previously supported macOS and Linux, will soon offer native Windows support. This development is a result of a collaboration with the Microsoft Windows team and addresses a frequent request from developers. Windows users have previously accessed Mojo through WSL.

MAX License Changes

The MAX license has been updated to remove device usage restrictions. Additionally, MAX will become source-available with an open alliance program, enabling broader ecosystem participation in building the platform. These changes are part of Modular's strategy to progressively open its stack, which began with the Mojo standard library and MAX kernels.
