Manus: DeepResearch + Operator agent from China

March 16, 2025Posted by Federico Ulfo

Meet Manus, the AI agent from China’s 🇨🇳 Butterfly Effect. Dubbed a 'DeepSeek moment,' it’s a fully autonomous tool that tackles real-world tasks, like building websites, analyzing stocks, and planning trips.

Powered by Claude 3.5 and Qwen, it got some attention on twitter. The GAIA benchmark shows some edge over OpenAI’s Deep Research.

We believe what's more important about this launch is that Chinese research labs are clearly here to innovate and lead, not just follow the US labs.
