In-depth technical investigation into the Manus AI agent, focusing on its architecture, tool orchestration, and autonomous capabilities.

I wrote an in-depth research prompt to conduct a GPT-Deep-Research on the Manus topic, seeking to replicate it with currently available open source tools. This is the result:

TLDR: Manus AI Agent Report

Manus is an autonomous AI agent built as a wrapper around foundation models (primarily Claude 3.5/3.7 and Alibaba's Qwen). It operates in a cloud-based virtual computing environment with full access to tools like web browsers, shell commands, and code execution. The system's key innovation is using executable Python code as its action mechanism ("CodeAct" approach), allowing it to perform complex operations autonomously. The architecture consists of an iterative agent loop (analyze → plan → execute → observe), with specialized modules for planning, knowledge retrieval, and memory management. Manus uses file-based memory to track progress and store information across operations. The system can be replicated using open-source components including CodeActAgent (a fine-tuned Mistral model), Docker for sandbox

How to use python with the Cursor IDE

How to use python with the Cursor AI IDE

Cursor.app has a critical vulnerability that should be taken seriously!

Please see my post below on this as sooon as possible! https://gist.github.com/joeblackwaslike/752b26ce92e3699084e1ecfc790f74b2?permalink_comment_id=5716065#gistcomment-5716065

Steps to patch latest cursor

These instructions should work with the latest versions of cursor which requires a much different strategy than the older versions where you could simply point cursor to the MS extension marketplace and call it a day.
