Manus achieved a rapid growth trajectory in 2025, raising $500M from Benchmark and reaching $100M ARR before being acquired by Meta for an estimated $4B. The vLLM team launched a dedicated community site with new resources, while performance issues with AMD MI300X FP8 were noted in vLLM and sglang benchmarks. Weaviate released operational features including Object TTL, Java v6 client GA, and multimodal document embeddings. API fragmentation concerns were raised by Teknium advocating for unified SDK wrappers. In open-weight models, GLM-4.7 gained recognition as a reliable coding model with faster throughput on Baseten, and MiniMax-M2.1 rose as a leading open agentic coder model, topping WebDev leaderboards.
