dotey · x · 2026-09-29
Manus released 2.0, its first major update since splitting from Meta: the new Cascade agent framework loads capabilities on demand, cutting token use 23.2%, completion time 28.2%, and runtime cost 32%. The desktop app becomes Manus Studio with dedicated video-editing and game-dev environments, plus a Cloud Computer for always-on projects, event-triggered automation, and an invite-only personal agent app called Cue. The author also compiled the full prompts behind Manus's 12 built-in video examples, reusable with Opus 5.5 / Sonnet 5.5 in tool-capable agent environments.
