Validate activity before betting a new project on Amphion. - Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic. ## When NOT to use manifold - Last GitHub push was 521 days ago (dormant maintenance, Feb 5, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on manifold. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between Amphion and manifold?

Amphion has more GitHub stars (9,927 vs 1,671). Stars measure visibility, not whether either tool fits your constraints. ### Are Amphion and manifold open source? Yes - both are open-source projects on GitHub (Amphion: MIT, manifold: Apache-2.0). ### Where can I find alternatives to Amphion or manifold? GraphCanon lists graph-backed alternatives at [Amphion alternatives](/tools/open-mmlab-amphion/alternatives) and [manifold alternatives](/tools/uber-manifold/alternatives) ([Amphion markdown twin](/tools/open-mmlab-amphion/alternatives.md), [manifold markdown twin](/tools/uber-manifold/alternatives.md)), ranked by typed relationship edges rather than popularity votes. ### Is there a machine-readable version of this comparison? Yes. The markdown twin at [this comparison](/compare/open-mmlab-amphion-vs-uber-manifold.md) mirrors this page for agents and LLM crawlers, with the same stats table and FAQ answers. ### Which is better maintained, Amphion or manifold? Amphion: Slowing. manifold: Dormant. Compare maintenance labels, days since push, and release cadence in the trust section below - stars alone do not measure maintenance. ### Where are the full trust reports for Amphion and manifold? GraphCanon publishes per-repo trust reports with dated maintenance, provenance, and scan summaries: [Amphion trust report](/tools/open-mmlab-amphion/trust); [manifold trust report](/tools/uber-manifold/trust). --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=open-mmlab-amphion`](/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=open-mmlab-amphion) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
