Manifest Weekly #08

The dashboard now shows how much money routing saves you.
What we shipped this week
See how much routing saves you: The Overview dashboard now shows a “Saved cost” metric. It compares what you actually spent against what you would have spent using a single model for everything.
Easier Hermes onboarding:
Hermes users can now set up Manifest directly from hermes model with step-by-step instructions in the dashboard.
Fixes
- Stalled streaming responses now trigger the fallback chain instead of hanging until timeout (#1657)
- Streaming requests to some providers were showing 0 tokens and no cost (#1758)
- Agents wrapping the user prompt in metadata were throwing off the complexity scorer, routing too many requests to expensive models (#1770)
- OpenClaw setup snippet was pointing at the wrong API, causing empty chat bubbles (#1751)
- Routing from a reasoning model to Mistral failed because
reasoning_detailswas being forwarded (#1761) - Deleting an agent and recreating it with the same name now starts fresh instead of conflicting (#1776)
- Manifest now detects Podman and Kubernetes as self-hosted environments (#1785)
Community contributions
Thanks to @el-analista for streaming fallback on stalled providers, @brian-c11 for making provider timeout configurable via PROVIDER_TIMEOUT_MS, and @danielbnelson for fixing blank pages in Safari on local installs.
What’s coming next
- Add Groq provider
- Allow users to benchmark models
- Expose an Anthropic-compatible endpoint to support Anthropic-SDK agents.
