Manus gives agents their own phone numbers and wallets — a bigger shift than any model release
Dapper-Tale-4021 · reddit · 2026-10-14
The author argues the most under-discussed release this week is Manus's Cue: each agent gets its own email address, phone number, digital wallet, and computer, with payments capped to a user-set budget.
- Meta Muse Wonder: Meta's first real frontier model, benchmarked against Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra, priced $4 in / $20 out per million tokens.
- Microsoft-Anthropic: Per The Information, Microsoft is reportedly on track to pay Anthropic over $2B a year for Copilot — single source, unconfirmed.
- Why Cue matters: Until now agents acted on your behalf, with your credentials, inside your permission scope. Now an agent has an identity that exists independently in the world.
- Open legal questions: If an agent with its own wallet makes a purchase, who's the counterparty on the invoice? Nobody has answered — and the product already shipped.
