Event Summary

Modal's Terms of Service header was updated on July 16, 2026 to include promotional language: 'Inkling by Thinking Machines is now available on Modal Learn more' was added to the opening statement. This is a header-level announcement, not a change to the substantive terms themselves. The operative terms and effective date (May 2026) remain unchanged.

LOW

Governance Analysis
