Manus 尚未立即回應置評請求。 Manus went viral early this year on X after it released what it claimed was the world's first general AI agent, capable of making decisions and executing tasks autonomously, with much less prompting required than AI chatbots like ChatGPT and DeepSeek. 今年年初，Manus 在 X 平台上引發熱議，因其發布了自稱為「全球首個通用人工智慧代 理」（general AI agent）的產品，該代理能自主做出決策並執行任務，所需使用者提示 遠少於 ChatGPT 和 DeepSeek 等 AI 聊天機器人。 That drove commentators to call it China's next DeepSeek, and it was cheered by Chinese state television. The company months later moved its headquarters from China to Singapore, joining a wave of other Chinese companies that have done so to curb risks from U.S.-China tensions. 此舉令評論員將其譽為「中國下一個 DeepSeek」，並獲得中國央視的公開讚揚。數月後 ，該公司將總部從中國遷至新加坡，與其他多家中國企業一樣，以降低中美緊張關係所帶 來的風險。 The company, whose products are not available in China, claims its AI agent's performance surpasses that of OpenAI's DeepResearch. It also has a strategic partnership with Alibaba to collaborate on their AI models. 該公司的產品並未在中國市場提供，並宣稱其 AI 代理的表現已超越 OpenAI 的 DeepResearch。此外，Manus 還與阿里巴巴建立策略合作夥伴關係，共同開發 AI 模型。 Meta will operate and sell the Manus service and integrate it into its consumer and business products, including in Meta AI, the company said. Meta 表示，將負責運營和銷售 Manus 服務，並將其整合至自家的消費端與企業端產品中 ，包括 Meta AI。 Tech giants such as Meta have been ramping up AI investments through strategic acquisitions and talent hires as they navigate fierce industry competition. 面對激烈的產業競爭，Meta 等科技巨頭正透過策略性收購與人才招聘，大幅加碼人工智 慧領域的投資。 Earlier this year, the Facebook owner invested in Scale AI in a deal that valued the data-labeling startup at $29 billion and brought in its 28-year-old CEO, Alexandr Wang. 今年早些時候，這家 Facebook 母公司投資了 Scale AI，該交易對這家資料標註新創公 司的估值達 290 億美元，並引進其時年 28 歲的執行長 Alexandr Wang。 Manus, backed by its parent Beijing Butterfly Effect Technology, raised $75 million this year at a valuation of around $500 million, the source said, confirming previous media reports. U.S. venture firm Benchmark led the funding round. 消息人士指出，Manus 由其母公司「北京蝴蝶效應科技」支持，今年已募得 7,500 萬美 元資金，當時估值約為 5 億美元，證實了先前媒體的報導。本輪融資由美國創投公司 Benchmark 主導。 Its investors also include HSG, formerly known as Sequoia Capital China, ZhenFund and internet giant Tencent Holdings, PitchBook data showed. 根據 PitchBook 的資料，Manus 的投資者還包括 HSG（前稱紅杉資本中國）、真格基金 （ZhenFund）以及網際網路巨頭騰訊控股。 心得/評論： 作為 Meta 旗下 AI Agent Manus 未來將被深度整合至個人助理、企業自動化工具 若技術持續領先 可能成為 Meta 對抗 Google Gemini Agent、OpenAI 的 自主 AI 作業系統的重要拼圖 --
