Manus AI Revolutionizes Tech with Autonomous Agent
With its ability to outperform OpenAI's Deep Research on the GAIA benchmark, Manus is set to change the game in the AI assistant market, offering a new level of autonomy and intelligence, and its invitation-only release has already generated significant interest and excitement in the AI community.
China's Monica.im has unveiled Manus, the world's first fully autonomous AI agent, capable of executing complex tasks independently from planning to completion, setting a new benchmark in general AI assistant capabilities.
Manus, developed by a team led by Xiao Hong, a software engineering graduate from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, has achieved state-of-the-art performance on the GAIA test, surpassing OpenAI's models. The AI agent follows a "less structure, more intelligence" approach, focusing on data quality, model power, and flexible architecture, allowing it to handle a wide range of applications, from creating custom guidebooks to analyzing stock performance.
The release of Manus comes as major AI firms, including OpenAI, invest in AI agents, with the latter announcing pricing for its doctor-level AI agents at $20,000 per month. Manus, on the other hand, is currently available as an invitation-only web preview, with users needing an invitation code to access it, and prices for the codes ranging wildly on a secondhand marketplace platform.
The AI agent has gained attention in the AI community for its ability to handle complex tasks, such as creating custom websites, devising trip itineraries, and providing in-depth analysis of stock performance. A demonstration video of Manus has received over 200,000 views on X, sparking interest and requests for an invitation code to try the agent.
As the AI landscape continues to evolve, Manus is poised to revolutionize the tech industry with its autonomous capabilities, and its potential applications are vast and varied, making it an exciting development to watch in the coming months.
