Meta announced the acquisition of Manus—this is a huge event in the AI field! As far as I can recall, it’s the first time a U.S. tech giant has acquired a startup that originated entirely in China. Manus just announced in December that their annualized revenue hit $100 million, and they’ve already created 80 million intelligent agents for users. This acquisition is a big deal for Meta. Manus is a team that can truly develop intelligent agents—not just chatbots, but agents capable of conducting independent research, writing code, analyzing data, and executing complex tasks. This is exactly what Meta is currently lacking. Their own large model has fallen behind, and focusing on product applications is a great way to make a comeback and overtake competitors on the curve.
