v0.13.0 — Modal Cloud GPU + /setup Wizard

What's New

Modal as recommended cloud GPU provider — All 7 AI tools now support --cloud modal alongside --cloud runpod. Modal offers faster cold starts, simpler deployment, and $30/month free compute on the Starter plan.

/setup wizard — Interactive first-time setup that walks through cloud GPU deployment, Cloudflare R2 file transfer, and voice configuration. Replaces the manual per-tool --setup flow.

Shared cloud GPU abstraction (tools/cloud_gpu.py) — Unified interface for all cloud tools. Eliminates ~2,000 lines of duplicated RunPod boilerplate across 7 tools.

OpenClaw skill (alpha) — Autonomous video creation skill for creating videos with minimal human intervention.

Migration

Existing RunPod setups continue to work unchanged. All tools still accept --cloud runpod. No .env changes required.

To add Modal alongside RunPod:

pip install modal
python3 -m modal setup
# Then in Claude Code:
/setup

Other Changes

• 7 Modal apps in docker/modal-*/app.py — Modal builds containers from these, no GHCR needed
• tools/file_transfer.py — Shared R2/fallback upload module
• tools/verify_setup.py — Health check for all configured endpoints
• Fixed lib/transitions barrel re-exporting invalid @remotion/transitions entries
• Added CLAUDE.md guidance: always use <OffthreadVideo>, never raw <video> in Remotion
• README restructured: quick start first, per-tool cost estimates, Modal recommended
• docs/modal-setup.md — Full Modal setup guide

Cost Estimates (Modal)

Tool	Per Job
qwen3_tts	~$0.01
flux2	~$0.02
image_edit	~$0.03
upscale	~$0.01
music_gen	~$0.05
sadtalker	~$0.10
dewatermark	~$0.10

Typical monthly spend: $1-2. Well within Modal's free tier.
