拒绝字节3000万美元,Manus数十亿美元被Meta收购了
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-12-30 12:06
曾全网都在求"邀请码"的Manus,被Meta收购了!全球AI智能体赛道格局的重磅收购,在2025年末正式落定。 对于Meta而言,收购Manus不仅是技术层面的战略补位,更是其在通用智能体赛道实现弯道超车的关键一步。借助Manus的前沿技术积累,Meta有望在AI 应用落地的竞赛中抢占先机。 12月30日消息,Meta正式宣布收购AI Agent(智能体)公司Manus,以此加速其人工智能创新战略落地。据悉,本次交易对象为开发AI应用 Manus 的 Butterfly Effect(蝴蝶效应)公司,交易金额高达数十亿美元。这是 Meta 成立以来第三大收购,花费仅次于 WhatsApp 和 Scale AI 。 今年3月,因为一段长达4分17秒的演示视频,一款"Manus"的中国AI产品刷屏全球互联网。作为"全球首款通用智能体产品",Manus上线4小时官网访问量 即突破千万量级。据统计截至12月初,Manus已处理超过147万亿个 token,并创建了超过8000万台虚拟计算机。 Manus 来自拉丁语Mens et Manus,就是手脑并用的意思。这款由多个独立模型驱动的智能体,能够自主完成深度研究、 ...
“AI PC”加速到来,哪些产业将被重塑?
Mei Ri Jing Ji Xin Wen· 2025-12-30 12:01
每经记者|刘旭强 每经编辑|刘艳美 一个越来越明显的共识是,AI产业正从早期的技术模型探索,进入以"应用创新""产业深耕"为核心的新阶段,深度赋能政务、医疗、工业制造、交通、能源 等关键领域,持续催生新业态、新模式。 破解算力难题 "AI PC"加速走进现实 "现在智算算力需求非常旺盛,租GPU做AI推理,得提前两个星期排队预约。"郑纬民表示,曾经由"模型训练"主导的算力需求,如今已经转向"推理",简单 说就是AI从"学习成长"阶段,进入了"给人干活"的实用阶段,而这也催生出爆发式的算力缺口。 要让AI高效"干活",选对芯片是关键。相较于CPU,更擅长高效矩阵运算和高速数据读写的GPU脱颖而出。 不过高效的GPU也面临"烦恼",其内存主要用于存储两类数据,一是训练所得的模型参数,二是推理过程中产生的中间结果。随着Kimi等支持数百万字上下 文的模型走红,AI大模型趋向"数据更多、模型更大、上下文更长",但这也带来了极高的推理负载,导致用户量激增时频繁宕机。 郑纬民以热门论文的推理需求为例,"十万个用户同时查询,如果每个用户都单独存储文章原文和推理中间结果,AI必然不堪重负。" 郑纬民提到,业内的破解思路是"公 ...

Meta数十亿美元买走中国AI团队,我们该鼓掌还是警醒?
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-12-30 11:26
根据协议,Manus整个团队加入Meta,创始人肖弘成为Meta的副总裁,主管AI代理技术。 Manus会继续在新加坡独立运行,产品和服务照旧。 01 文 | 冷眼观天 2025年12月30日,社交媒体公司Meta宣布,花费数十亿美元买下一家名为Manus的中国AI公司及其母公 司蝴蝶效应。 这是Meta公司历史上金额第三大的收购。 此事发生之后,人们很自然地从中美两国科技竞争的角度去看它。 对美国和对Meta来说,目的很明确。 Manus正好填补了这个空缺。 这家公司的产品是全球第一个通用型AI智能体,技术架构特别,在GAIA标准测试里准确率达到 86.5%,超过了OpenAI的同类产品。 因此,Manus迅速崛起,与DeepSeek一同被视为2025年中国AI领域最引人瞩目的两大突破。 买下Manus,Meta一下子就补上了关键能力——让AI不仅能回答问题,还能自己动手完成复杂任务。 靠着Meta全家桶应用将近40亿的月活用户,这项技术可能很快推广开来,让AI更深入地自动化处理内 容、广告甚至更多生活事务。 当然,这么大手笔的收购,尤其是买下一个核心团队有中国背景的公司,很可能引来美国联邦贸易委员 会的反 ...
