🧩 DeepSeek Harness v0.1 is now available in Developer Preview!
🔹 We’re opening it up to developers building agent harnesses worldwide and open-sourcing the codebase in MIT license.
🔹 Powered by the Cordis meta-framework, DeepSeek Harness is an agent harness built around one core idea: Everything is a plugin. Models, tools, skills, sessions, sandboxes, filesystems, loops, orchestration, and UI are ALL implemented as plugins, and can be mixed, matched, replaced, and extended.
Try it now!

A Note to Our Users
Manus will soon resume operating as an independent company.
As part of this transition and to comply with regulatory requirements in specific jurisdictions, some users will need to back-up their data before 7:59 a.m. on August 23, 2026 (SGT) and then begin restoration starting from 8:00 a.m on August 25, 2026 (SGT) to ensure normal usage.
More information can be found in the blog post and we’ve provided detailed guides, including to understand if you’re affected, in our Help Center
For affected users, these are the key details:
We’ll notify you by email and in the Manus app. If you signed up with an Apple ID or Facebook account, please check your in-app notifications.
Back up your data from now until August 23 (SGT) before 7:59 a.m. You can back up more than once, you can create new data after backing up, just run it again.
Starting from 8:00 a.m. on August 25 (SGT), the restoration portal will open. Restore your data and pick up right where you left off.
Affected users will not be charged during the transition, and we will be providing welcome back bonuses.
If your account is not affected, you don’t need to do anything - keep using Manus as usual. You’ll get an in-app notification confirming this.
For those affected, we know this is disruptive and we’re sorry for the inconvenience. Supporting you through it is our top priority. In addition to the full guides in the Help Center, our customer service team is ready to help 24/7 with any questions.
As we look ahead, we couldn’t be more excited by the future. We’re preparing a series of new features that will push the boundaries of what’s possible for general AI agents once again.
Thank you for being with us as we go through this process together. The best is still ahead.
🤯Introducing Team Memory, same idea as Agent Memory, except your teammates' agents can read it too
2.0.0 beta out today, and the repo hit #1 on github's typescript trending this week
Highlights:
> Solo builders: one place to manage memory across all your agents and AI tools, chat, code, tasks. Built for the one-person company
> Teams: a shared memory hub that turns conversations, docs and code into four reusable assets, Chat Memory, Skill, LLM-Wiki, Code-Graph, governed and shared across agents and frameworks

Just shared some changes we’re making to the teams at @GoogleDeepMind.
@DemisHassabis is stepping up to become Chair of @GoogleDeepMind & Chief Scientist of Alphabet, in addition to leading @IsomorphicLabs. He’ll be able to dedicate his time and focus on shaping the future of AGI and scientific discovery. It’s work that is vitally important to Alphabet and humanity, and I can’t imagine a better person than Demis to do it. He’ll stay closely connected to Koray and the GDM teams.
@Koraykv will become the SVP, @GoogleDeepMind, responsible for all aspects of model development, GDM research, and @Geminiapp & dev teams. Koray has been at GDM for 13 years and is a world-renowned expert in the field, starting our deep learning team and driving breakthroughs like WaveNet & DQN. GDM is in great hands!
Excited for this next chapter. You can read my note along with the message Demis sent to @GoogleDeepMind here: https://t.co/mvsvrDUai7
Introducing Mesa: the most powerful filesystem ever built, designed specifically for enterprise AI agents.
Every team building agents eventually hits the same wall: where do the files live?
Not the chat history, the actual artifacts the agent works on.
> The contracts your agent redlined
> The claim files it updated
> The 200-page audit report it edited overnight while you were asleep
Today those documents live in a sandbox that dies in 30 minutes, an S3 bucket where concurrent writes clobber each other, or a GitHub repo that was never built to absorb agent-scale traffic.
So we built Mesa.
The world's first POSIX-compatible filesystem with built-in version control, designed from the ground up for agents. You mount it into your sandbox like any other filesystem. Your agent reads and writes files normally. Behind the scenes every change is versioned, branchable, reviewable, and rollback-able — like a codebase, for any file type.
Mesa provides
– Branches so agents work in parallel without locking
– Durable storage that survives sandbox death
– Sparse materialization so massive document sets load instantly
– Fine-grained access control per agent
– Full history for human review and audit
Design partners are running Mesa in production across legal, healthcare, GTM, business ops, and coding agents.
