OpenManus

OpenManus is an open-source AI agent designed to connect large language models (LLMs) with external tools, such as web browsers, to autonomously carry out complex tasks. With the ability to iterate, reason, and adapt, OpenManus enhances the capabilities of LLMs by enabling them to think critically, gather real-time information, and execute multi-step operations with precision.

This deployment bundles open manus with a local LLM and an image to text model.

Get started

Go to the apps section in the web console and click either the small, medium or large instance of OpenManus. This will give you some good default settings but you can fully customise your deployment at the next step.

Customise the deployment

You can just choose an id for your App and deploy it. Or you may want to configure th spec of the machine.

GPU selection

A GPU is automatically selected to fit the LLM on. There shouldn't be any need to change it unless you wish to change the LLM.

Disk size

The default disk size is set to 100GB which should be enough for most users. However, if you want to download large amounts of data or install further tools / libraries you may need to increase this.

Using OpenManus

To access OpenManus you will need to use the VM IP address from the VM information page. You will also need to have set up SSH keys.

ssh into the machine

    
    ssh root@192.1.2.3

OpenManus will take time to start running and download the required models, a file called ~/openmanus-is-ready will appear when OpenManus has finished installing. You can either run ls every minute or so manually to find out when it is ready; or you can run the following command to automatically watch it:

    
    watch -n ls

    Copy to clipboardCopy
  

Look for a file appearing called openmanus-is-ready once this shows press Ctrl+C. Now run open Manus:

    
    cd OpenManus
python main.py

    Copy to clipboardCopy
  

From there you can type your prompt!
