Manifold

Manifold is a free, open-source toolkit. It helps make using AI models easy. It is like using Docker. Manifold gives users control over their AI models. It helps with three big problems in using AI models: complexity, cost, and trust. With Manifold, users can run, list, and stop any AI model with a simple command-line interface (CLI). Every action is recorded in a detailed log. It also gives a cost estimate for every action.

Manifold has several benefits:

n
• Simplicity: A simple CLI to run, list, and stop any AI model.
n
• Trust: Every action is recorded in a detailed log.
n
• Control: A cost estimate for every action, so users know how much they are spending.

Manifold is great for developers and organizations. It helps them use AI models without the usual complexity and cost. It is useful for managing AI models in different ways, including:

n
• Using AI models for testing and development.
n
• Managing AI models in real-world settings.
n
• Keeping track of AI models securely and accurately.

Manifold is free and open-source. This makes it easy for anyone to use.

Manifold is in its first phase. It has basic features like managing AI models, recording actions, and giving cost estimates. The project is still being developed. Users can help build the foundation for using AI.

To start using Manifold, users need Docker Desktop and Python 3.8+. They need to set up the software and install some tools. Manifold has two parts: a background Daemon and a CLI Client. Users can start the Daemon in one window and use the CLI in another to run, list, and stop services.
