`modal endpoint`
================

Create and manage LLM inference endpoints.

Modal Endpoints deploy production-ready LLM inference servers with minimal coding or configuration. Endpoints support pre-trained open models along with custom weights from a private Hugging Face repo or Modal Volume.

See [https://modal.com/docs/guide/endpoints](https://modal.com/docs/guide/endpoints)
 for more information.

**Usage**:

    modal endpoint [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

**Options**:

*   `--help`: Show this message and exit.

**Commands**:

*   `create`: Deploy a new Endpoint.
*   `list`: List Endpoints that are provisioning or running in an environment.
*   `stop`: Permanently stop an Endpoint and terminate any running containers.

`modal endpoint create` 

Deploy a new Endpoint.

Examples:

Create an Endpoint from a base model:

    modal endpoint create --model Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B-FP8

Create an Endpoint with an explicit name:

    modal endpoint create --name qwen-chat --model Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B-FP8

Create an Endpoint from a private Hugging Face model:

    modal endpoint create --name my-ft --model Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B-FP8 \
      --custom-hf-repo acme/qwen-ft --custom-hf-token $HF_TOKEN

Create an Endpoint from custom weights in a Modal Volume:

    modal endpoint create --name my-ft --model Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B-FP8 \
      --custom-volume-name qwen-ft --custom-volume-path /models/qwen

**Usage**:

    modal endpoint create [OPTIONS]

**Options**:

*   `-e, --env TEXT`: Environment to interact with. If unspecified, defers to `MODAL_ENVIRONMENT`, your active local profile, or your workspace default, in that order.
*   `--name TEXT`: Endpoint name. If not provided, a default will be derived from the model name.
*   `--model TEXT`: Hugging Face repo ID for the base model architecture (e.g., ‘Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B-FP8’). \[required\]
*   `--routing-region TEXT`: Region to route inference requests through. Defaults to us-west.
*   `--colocate-compute`: Run all containers within the routing region. This incurs a region selection price multiplier.
*   `--unauthenticated`: Allow unauthenticated HTTP requests to the endpoint.
*   `--custom-hf-repo TEXT`: Hugging Face repo ID for fine-tuned model weights.
*   `--custom-hf-revision TEXT`: Git revision for —custom-hf-repo.
*   `--custom-hf-token TEXT`: Hugging Face token for private —custom-hf-repo.
*   `--custom-volume-name TEXT`: Modal Volume name containing custom model weights.
*   `--custom-volume-path TEXT`: Path within Volume containing model weights.
*   `--help`: Show this message and exit.

`modal endpoint list` 

List Endpoints that are provisioning or running in an environment.

**Usage**:

    modal endpoint list [OPTIONS]

**Options**:

*   `--json`
*   `-e, --env TEXT`: Environment to interact with. If unspecified, defers to `MODAL_ENVIRONMENT`, your active local profile, or your workspace default, in that order.
*   `--help`: Show this message and exit.

`modal endpoint stop` 

Permanently stop an Endpoint and terminate any running containers.

**Usage**:

    modal endpoint stop [OPTIONS] ENDPOINT_IDENTIFIER

**Options**:

*   `-y, --yes`: Run without pausing for confirmation.
*   `-e, --env TEXT`: Environment to interact with. If unspecified, defers to `MODAL_ENVIRONMENT`, your active local profile, or your workspace default, in that order.
*   `--help`: Show this message and exit.
