Manus has released Manus-1.5 and Manus-1.5-Lite, the latest versions of its artificial intelligence models.
The models have been optimized to deliver answers quicker, resulting in a reduction of average task completion time from 15 minutes and 36 seconds earlier this year to 3 minutes and 43 seconds, according to the company. Although the methodology has not been disclosed, task quality has reportedly improved by 15 percent.
The AI agents are designed to be useful in real-world scenarios, and the latest models have the ability to build web applications from the ground up through chat. According to Manus, this includes capabilities such as event-driven notifications, user authentication, traffic analytics, and full-stack scaffolding. Importantly, Manus 1.5 can embed AIs into apps, including text and image generation capabilities.
To support collaborative work, teams can use the newly added Collaboration and Library features to organize files across shared AI chat sessions.
Manus-1.5-Lite is available for free, while Manus-1.5 is available only to subscribers, with plans starting at $192 per year. Readers can learn how to use Manus reading books like this one on Amazon.
