编辑|苗正卿 头图|Manus官网 针对Manus本周的一系列传闻,有知情人士向虎嗅独家回应道,"Manus一切正常,公司没跑路"。 连续一周,国内AI Agent企业蝴蝶效应旗下业务Manus持续"暴雷"——从"裁员传闻"到"社交媒体清空",再到传出停止与阿里通义千问方面合作,事件逐渐 升级、发酵。 对此,有知情人士向虎嗅独家回应道,"公司没跑路,业务正常。"与此同时,该知情人士还透露,Manus在国内业务的裁员还在持续进行中,不过这跟跑路 无关,主要原因是Manus自发布以来海外收入较为可观。 而至于Manus究竟为何要将总部搬至新加坡,有知情人士告诉虎嗅,"核心考量在于海外业务的增长预期更清晰,最终选择主动合规。" 值得一提的是,在4月末,Manus刚拿到由海外知名风投机构Benchmark 7500万美元领投的融资,投后估值飙升至5亿美元。而就在该轮融资结束后不久,有 媒体爆料,美国财政部正在审查Benchmark投资Manus这家中国公司的交易,缘由是2023年拜登政府出台法案,禁止美国向中国半导体、量子计算、AI和军 事等相关公司投资。(该法案于2025年1月正式生效)后来,在调查Benchmar ...
