Can reality be hacked?
This is %100 AI
We used AI to create a completely ordinary, unpolished street interview — and it looks more real than ever before.

Important Notice Regarding Manus's X Account Suspension
Our official X account (@manusai) was unexpectedly suspended yesterday. We're actively working with X's support team to resolve this matter. Preliminary observations suggest the suspension might relate to third-party mentions of cryptocurrency scams – a domain wholly unrelated to our operations.
To clarify:
- Manus has never been involved with cryptocurrency projects, token issuance, or blockchain initiatives
- Any similarly named cryptocurrency ventures claiming association with us are fraudulent
- We're pursuing legal action against these impersonators and encourage users to report suspicious accounts
For those interested in our actual work:
Our AI agent currently in beta testing demonstrates human-like planning and complex task execution (limited invitations available via manus.im). We welcome specific suggestions about real-world tasks you'd like to test, particularly in:
• Research assistance
• Workflow automation
• Multistep problem-solving
We appreciate your understanding as we address this unfortunate situation, and remain committed to developing ethical AI solutions. Updates will be provided through our official website and verified channels.

Introducing Claude 3.7 Sonnet: our most intelligent model to date. It's a hybrid reasoning model, producing near-instant responses or extended, step-by-step thinking.
One model, two ways to think.
We’re also releasing an agentic coding tool: Claude Code.

OPENAI ROADMAP UPDATE FOR GPT-4.5 and GPT-5:
We want to do a better job of sharing our intended roadmap, and a much better job simplifying our product offerings.
We want AI to “just work” for you; we realize how complicated our model and product offerings have gotten.
We hate the model picker as much as you do and want to return to magic unified intelligence.
We will next ship GPT-4.5, the model we called Orion internally, as our last non-chain-of-thought model.
After that, a top goal for us is to unify o-series models and GPT-series models by creating systems that can use all our tools, know when to think for a long time or not, and generally be useful for a very wide range of tasks.
In both ChatGPT and our API, we will release GPT-5 as a system that integrates a lot of our technology, including o3. We will no longer ship o3 as a standalone model.
The free tier of ChatGPT will get unlimited chat access to GPT-5 at the standard intelligence setting (!!), subject to abuse thresholds.
Plus subscribers will be able to run GPT-5 at a higher level of intelligence, and Pro subscribers will be able to run GPT-5 at an even higher level of intelligence. These models will incorporate voice, canvas, search, deep research, and more.

Announcing The Stargate Project
The Stargate Project is a new company which intends to invest $500 billion over the next four years building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States. We will begin deploying $100 billion immediately. This infrastructure will secure American leadership in AI, create hundreds of thousands of American jobs, and generate massive economic benefit for the entire world. This project will not only support the re-industrialization of the United States but also provide a strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies.
The initial equity funders in Stargate are SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX. SoftBank and OpenAI are the lead partners for Stargate, with SoftBank having financial responsibility and OpenAI having operational responsibility. Masayoshi Son will be the chairman.
Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI are the key initial technology partners. The buildout is currently underway, starting in Texas, and we are evaluating potential sites across the country for more campuses as we finalize definitive agreements.
As part of Stargate, Oracle, NVIDIA, and OpenAI will closely collaborate to build and operate this computing system. This builds on a deep collaboration between OpenAI and NVIDIA going back to 2016 and a newer partnership between OpenAI and Oracle.
This also builds on the existing OpenAI partnership with Microsoft. OpenAI will continue to increase its consumption of Azure as OpenAI continues its work with Microsoft with this additional compute to train leading models and deliver great products and services.
All of us look forward to continuing to build and develop AI—and in particular AGI—for the benefit of all of humanity. We believe that this new step is critical on the path, and will enable creative people to figure out how to use AI to elevate humanity.
