Ashr

In their words
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.

Is this you?
If you're behind Ashr: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. FoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
