Manus ships 2.0, with efficiency gains measured by its own tests
Manus's first major release since restoring independent operation; the cost and speed gains are vendor-measured and await real-world checks.
Manus released version 2.0 on September 28, alongside Cue, a group-chat app for multiple agents — its first major update since parent Butterfly Effect restored independent operations on September 1.
According to the company's blog, 2.0 runs on its in-house Cascade framework. In one test configuration, compared with the previous system, token consumption fell 23.2%, task completion time shortened 28.2%, and running costs dropped 32%. These figures are vendor-measured, and the tested tasks are not specified.
Cue gives each agent its own email address, phone number and computer environment, and supports team collaboration; it remains in invite-only early access. This release is the overseas version, and the company says it is building a team for a China-market product.
