Manus previously partnered with Alibaba’s Qwen team and claimed its AI agent outperformed OpenAI’s DeepResearch, completing live user tasks on X to demonstrate its capabilities.
The acquisition follows Meta’s earlier commitment to Scale AI, valued at $29 billion, signaling a broader strategy to consolidate AI infrastructure and talent.

Case Study
How AI cut production costs
Hyundai, a major automaker, built its $7.6 billion Georgia Metaplant from scratch with integrated AI systems for manufacturing operations.
Traditional automakers retrofit old facilities with modern technology. Hyundai's greenfield approach embedded 850 robots and AI-powered digital twins during construction.
The facility uses AI algorithms to predict production issues and analyze root causes through real-time sensor data across the factory floor.
Each vehicle passes through 23 AI-based systems before completion, helping detect defects and reduce rework compared to conventional manufacturing methods.
