Breaking news just landed—Meta officially announced the acquisition of Manus, a startup focused on general AI Agents.

In their official statement, the Manus team said that this is not just an acquisition but also a recognition of their work exploring the AI Agent field. Since its launch, Manus has been doing one thing: building AI Agents that help users automate research, automation, and complex tasks. The product data speaks for itself—by early December, Manus had processed over 147 trillion tokens, created more than 80 million virtual computers, and served millions of users worldwide.

Why did Meta make a move? From Manus’s perspective, this partnership allows them to maintain independent operations while gaining a stronger technological foundation and sustainable support. In other words, Manus will not change its product direction because of the acquisition—app and website services will continue to operate, and the Singapore headquarters will function as usual.

Manus founder Xiao Hong’s attitude is very clear: partnering with Meta is to iterate products on a more solid foundation and continue delivering value beyond expectations for users. This is the core logic that has allowed Manus to survive and develop since its launch.

From a broader perspective, this reflects a trend—AI Agents are no longer just conceptual hype but a real product form. Major tech companies starting to deploy in this field indicates that monetizing AI capabilities at the application layer has become a key focus. Manus’s case also reminds us that AI tools capable of solving real user problems are being recognized by the market and capital.

1.47 quadrillion tokens, 80 million virtual machines... This data has me a bit confused, what exactly has Manus been doing that's so impressive? Wow, Meta has really gone all-in on Agent, it feels like it's about to take off. I'm a bit skeptical about Meta's promises, they say they'll stay independent, but they'll change eventually. Can Agent really make money, or is this just another round of cutting the leeks? This is what I mean—things that truly solve problems will eventually be recognized, while those relying on hype are almost dead.

147 trillion tokens, is this data accurate... That's a bit exaggerated, isn't it? But Meta's move definitely indicates that AI Agents are really about to take off.

Damn, Meta is once again aggressively acquiring AI projects, and this time Manus's data really packs a punch. --- 147 trillion tokens? That's not bragging, right? Seems a bit unbelievable. --- Can it still operate independently? Just listen to it. Once Meta acquires you, who can still be independent? --- Finally, a company is truly developing AI Agent products, not just talking about it on paper every day. --- Xiao Hong's move is good; leaning on Meta's support allows continued independence, much better than being eliminated by other giants. --- 80 million virtual computers... What kind of divine data is this? Has anyone actually used it? --- The commercialization of AI is really happening. Manus getting Meta's endorsement is the best proof. --- It's the Singapore team again. Why is everyone now eager to start a business there?

Another Meta acquisition show... but Manus' data really packs a punch—147 trillion tokens, 80 million virtual machines. This is no joke. I'm optimistic about this path; the commercialization of AI Agents is finally here.
