Manus AI Now Open to Allš¤©
Manus AI launches with free credits, HealthBench sets new AI medical standards, and FaceAge predicts cancer survival from facial aging.
AI continues to push boundaries across industries, with three major developments redefining whatās possible this week. Manus AI, a powerful autonomous coding agent, is now publicly available without a waitlist, offering users 1,000 free credits plus 300 daily credits to experience hands-free software development. This allows developers to delegate entire projects to an AI that plans, codes, and executes tasks across multiple programming languages and frameworksāaccelerating workflows with minimal effort. In healthcare, OpenAI has introduced HealthBench, a new benchmark co-created with 262 physicians across 60 countries to evaluate AI performance in real-world clinical scenarios. Featuring over 5,000 multilingual conversations and more than 48,000 unique evaluation criteria, HealthBench aims to ensure AI systems are safe, accurate, and aligned with physician judgment. At the intersection of medicine and computer vision, researchers have also developed FaceAge, a deep learning model that estimates biological age from facial images. Tested across thousands of cancer patients, the model was found to predict survival outcomes more accurately than traditional measures and shows promise as a biomarker for aging. Together, these advancements signal a future where AI not only builds our digital tools but also plays an integral role in safeguarding and understanding human health.
Manus AI: Autonomous AI Agent Now Live
After waiting so long, Manus AI has finally removed its waitlist and is now available to all users immediately, offering a one-time bonus of 1,000 free credits plus 300 daily credits for autonomous coding and development tasks. This major update gives users full access to Manusās powerful AI agent, which independently plans, executes, and completes complex projects across multiple programming languages and frameworks. The move follows significant funding and growing competition in the AI space, making Manus a highly accessible and valuable tool for developers seeking advanced AI assistance without financial barriers. With these free credits and no waitlist, users can now experience Manus AIās autonomous capabilities firsthand and accelerate their coding workflows with more freedom and flexibility than ever before.
OpenAIās A Real-World Benchmark for Evaluating AI in Healthcare

HealthBench is a new benchmark developed to evaluate how well AI systems perform in realistic health scenarios, aiming to ensure that AI models are both useful and safe for healthcare applications. Created in partnership with 262 physicians from 60 countries, HealthBench consists of 5,000 multi-turn, multilingual health conversations that mirror real-life interactions between users or clinicians and AI, covering a wide range of medical specialties and complexities. Each conversation is graded using a detailed physician-created rubric, with over 48,000 unique criteria that assess whether the AIās responses meet expert standards for accuracy, relevance, and safety. Model responses are scored by an AI grader (GPT-4.1), and the benchmark is designed to reflect real-world impact, align with physician judgment, and leave room for future model improvements. This approach supports the responsible development of AI in health by providing meaningful, trustworthy, and rigorous evaluation that encourages continuous progress and prioritizes patient safety.
Detecting Cancer by Reading Your Face

FaceAge is a deep learning system developed to estimate biological age from simple face photographs, aiming to provide a more objective and clinically useful measure of physiological health than chronological age. Trained on large datasets of healthy individuals and validated in over 6,000 cancer patients across multiple institutions, FaceAge was shown to predict survival outcomes independently of other clinical factors, with patients who "looked older" experiencing worse overall survival. On average, cancer patients appeared about five years older than their actual age compared to healthy controls, and integrating FaceAge into existing clinical prediction models improved the accuracy of survival forecasts, especially for those receiving palliative care. The study also found that FaceAge estimates were linked to molecular markers of aging, suggesting its potential as a biomarker. These results highlight that a personās facial features, as analyzed by AI, can reflect biological aging and help doctors make better-informed treatment decisions, though further validation in larger and more diverse patient groups is needed.
