Introducing Manus 1.6: Max Performance, Mobile Dev, and Design View
Completing a task is one thing. Completing it with intelligence, autonomy, and a high success rate is another. With Manus 1.6, we're closing that gap. We've updated the core agent architecture to handle more complex work with significantly less supervision.
This release introduces three major leaps forward: Manus 1.6 Max, our most powerful agent yet; Mobile Development, for building beyond the web; and Design View, for interactive image creation.
Manus 1.6 Max: A New Level of Performance
At the heart of this release is Manus 1.6 Max, our new flagship agent. It delivers a measurable boost in performance, driven by a more advanced architecture for planning and problem-solving.
•Higher Task Success Rate: Max dramatically improves one-shot task success. More tasks now complete autonomously without human intervention, a direct result of its enhanced intelligence.
•Increased User Satisfaction: In double-blind testing, user satisfaction increased by over 19.2%. This stems from higher quality outputs, better accuracy, and more reliable tool use.
•Smarter Wide Research: All sub-agents in Wide Research now run on the Max architecture, ensuring every parallel task is executed at the highest level for deeper, more accurate insights.
•Enhanced Spreadsheet Capabilities: Max demonstrates particularly strong performance with spreadsheet tasks. From complex financial modeling and data analysis to automated report generation, Max can handle sophisticated workflows that previously required manual expertise.
•Refined Web Development: Max also brings significant improvements to web development, with better UI aesthetics, page functionality, and interactive experience. You can now build sophisticated internal tools with polished interfaces—like applications that automatically parse uploaded invoices, generate editable forms, and provide summary statistics.
Our internal benchmarks, calibrated to mirror real-world user scenarios, show that Manus 1.6 Max delivers significant performance gains across the board. We've seen the most dramatic improvements in complex, multi-step tasks that require a high degree of accuracy and reasoning.
This leap in performance means more complex tasks can now be completed successfully in a single attempt, saving you time and effort.
Mobile Development: Build for Any Platform
For the first time, you can now use Manus to build mobile applications. Simply describe the app you want, and Manus will handle the end-to-end development process. This, combined with our already improved web development capabilities, expands the range of projects you can tackle with Manus.
Design View: Create and Edit Visually
Go beyond text prompts with the new Design View, an interactive canvas for image creation and editing. This new interface allows you to:
•Edit with Precision: Make local changes to any part of an image with simple point-and-click controls.
•Modify In-Image Text: Add or change text directly on your images, with high-quality rendering.
•Composite and Create: Combine multiple images to produce complex, creative designs.
Design View gives you the fine-grained control of traditional design software, powered by cutting-edge image generation models.
Availability
Manus 1.6, including the new Max agent, Mobile Development, and Design View, is available now for all users. Select your preferred agent when starting a new task.
As part of this rollout, the Max agent will be available at a 50% reduced credit cost for a limited period.
Manus 1.6 is a significant step toward a future where AI can reliably handle more of your most complex work. We're excited to see what you build with it.
