Beating AI Express News: AI agent product Manus has launched Manus for Business, which includes two plans: Team Plan and Enterprise Plan. The Team Plan is now live, starting at $20 per paid seat monthly or $200 annually, with 4,000 credits included and free guest seats. It supports Projects that share instructions, files, skills, and connectors across related tasks; admins can enforce specified skills, and the plan offers role permissions, audit logs, SSO, and SCIM for governance. Manus states it prohibits model providers from using Team customer data for training, and holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and ISO 27701 certifications. For organizations needing managed accounts, legal retention, SIEM log integration, agent network control, or usage-based limits, the Enterprise Plan is available. Key product capabilities include matching different LLMs to tasks, delivering outputs like research reports and presentations, deploying large numbers of sub-agents in a single task, and building and launching web apps in minutes.

Osmosis official announcement: Its community forum has launched a proposal discussion titled "Terminate OSMO Inflation Issuance". The mint module will no longer issue new OSMO tokens daily, with all staking rewards sourced solely from protocol revenue. At the current burn rate, roughly 2% of the token supply is burned annually, with no new issuance to offset this. The target on-chain date for the proposal is October 20. The forum proposal also states that daily developer vesting releases will be suspended, leaving around 51.9 million OSMO tokens in the vesting module account; any future releases will require separate governance approval.

U.S. CPI inflation has exceeded the Federal Reserve's 2% target for 67 consecutive months. The last time inflation fell below 2% was in January 2021, amid global economic lockdowns. Over this period, the U.S. dollar has lost 22.5% of its value. In other words, goods and services that cost $100 in 2021 now cost $129. Compounding inflation has become the new normal in the U.S.

StarkWare has opened OffMarket to the public, allowing users to trade on Polymarket without publicly linking their positions to existing accounts. The service has been in limited beta testing since August, leveraging zero-knowledge technology and sharing a privacy pool on Starknet. Current per-account deposit limits are set at 1,000 USDC, with adjustments planned based on demand. Prediction orders still execute on Polymarket with the same counterparties and at identical market prices. The service is non-custodial, with user keys remaining stored locally in users’ browsers. Additionally, Polymarket transaction records are public on Polygon, with positions, order sizes, and trading history all viewable. OffMarket still does not fully prevent others from inferring a trader’s identity through trade size or timing, as market quotes and executions themselves remain public. This product is not an official Polymarket offering, has no formal partnership or special access privileges, and is part of Polymarket’s Verified Builder Program, retaining its geographic restrictions including a ban on U.S. users. Independent compliance firm Financial Privacy Inc. holds the master viewing key for sanction screening and required disclosures under lawful requests. L2BEAT data shows that the shared privacy pool on Starknet currently holds approximately $1.5 million in total value across 17,000 deposits.
