Chinese startup Butterfly Effect, developer of the AI agent Manus, has opened public registration for its platform, removing the previous waitlist for overseas users while the domestic launch remains pending. Manus users receive a one-time bonus of 1,000 credits and a free daily task worth 300 credits. The platform's open access follows recent reports about a potential $100 million funding round at a $1.5 billion valuation involving state-backed investors to support expansion in China; however, Butterfly Effect has denied these fundraising claims. The move to open Manus to all users reflects the company's effort to increase accessibility and user engagement amid growing interest in AI agent technologies.
