On Oct 8, Manus's parent Butterfly Effect said it has completed a new financing round of more than $500 million. The round was led by Boyu Capital and IDG Capital, with follow-on investments from existing shareholders Tencent, Sequoia China and ZhenFund.

一项最新的社区测试引发关注：同样使用GPT-6模型，Codex提供的推理预算可能远低于直接调用OpenAI API，即使选择相同的推理强度，差距依然显著。 在最高推理档位（Max）下，GPT-6 Astra通过API调用时的推理预算达到832，而Codex仅为128，相差约6.5倍；GPT-6 Sol的差距更加突出，API端达到768，Codex端只有62，相差约12.4倍。社区测试还显示，这种差异并非仅存在于最高档位，在其他可比较的推理强度设置下，Codex的推理预算也普遍低于API端。 所谓推理预算，通常指模型内部推理过程可使用的计算预算，并不等同于实际消耗的Token数量。OpenAI官方文档确认，推理强度会影响模型的思考深度、响应速度和Token消耗，但尚未证实上述832、128、768和62等具体预算数值。 这一差异可能影响复杂软件工程任务的表现。对于简单代码生成和常规修改，较低的推理预算有利于提高响应速度、控制计算成本；但在大型代码库重构、跨模块依赖分析、复杂故障排查以及长链条任务规划中，更充足的推理预算可能帮助模型探索更多方案、检查潜在错误并完成更深入的验证。

Indonesia is discussing a plan to halt new processing facilities for semi-finished nickel products to support prices, senior minister Bahlil Lahadalia said on Wednesday. He said an oversupply of semi-finished nickel has pushed prices lower and the government is considering scaling back or suspending such capacity while promoting downstream production of finished nickel goods. Indonesia, the world’s largest nickel exporter, mainly ships nickel pig iron and ferronickel, and the government will continue to support prices by controlling mining extraction quotas.
