Ashr

About

Ashr Manifold is a self-contained model training, hosting, observability, and continual learning platform for purpose-built open-weight models. Startups can use Manifold to post-train and manage fleets of continuously improving open-weight models without having a dedicated research team or infrastructure. Ultimately, this reduces operating costs and allows a greater degree of control over proprietary company knowledge. Enterprises can use Manifold to encode institutional judgements and priorities into open-weight models, reduce token costs, and manage every level of the AI life cycle, from data curation, to model serving on weights and infrastructure they own.
