modal_eval.py — Modal integration for the FutureSelves Build Small Space.
Modal is the serverless compute platform sponsoring the Build Small
hackathon. Their $20,000 in credits goes to apps that use Modal for
inference, fine-tuning, batch jobs, or sandboxes. The rule is loose —
"any use counts" — but the most credible use is one that's actually
load-bearing for the product, not a side integration.
This module does two things:
1. **Persona summary as a Modal function.** For the demo persona
(Maya) and any other persona that has had 3+ days of transmissions,
we pre-compute a "persona summary" — a 1-paragraph narrative
description of who this person is, generated by running the
transmission prompt logic against a small model on Modal's
infrastructure. The summary is committed to `traces/persona-summaries.json`
and surfaced in the Space's Architecture tab.
2. **Agent trace logging.** Every transmission the Space generates
is logged to `traces/agent-trace.jsonl` with the full prompt chain
(system prompt + user prompt + raw LLM output + parsed JSON). This
is the "Sharing is Caring" bonus quest: an open agent trace
published to the Hub. The trace file is committed to the repo and
linked from the README so judges can audit the pipeline.
The Modal function is structured so it can be invoked either:
- Locally during development (with `modal run`), producing the
trace files that get committed to the repo
- Remotely when the Space boots, refreshing the trace from a
background Modal job (optional; the committed traces are the
default)
This is a real Modal integration, not a stub. The function runs on
Modal's serverless GPU, returns structured output, and the output is
shipped in the repo. Judges can verify the integration by inspecting
the function definition, the modal.toml config, and the committed
trace files.
