Meta Acquires AI Startup Manus
Meta, the company behind Facebook, has bought a smaller company called Manus.
Manus is special because it made an AI that can write detailed reports and create websites.
This AI was inspired by another AI called DeepSeek, which is from China and is very advanced.
Meta wants to use Manus's technology to make its own AI better and to get more people to pay for its services.
Meta has acquired the AI startup Manus.
Manus gained popularity with an AI model that creates research reports and custom websites.
The AI model was inspired by DeepSeek, a Chinese AI known for its advanced capabilities.
DeepSeek's founder claimed it was developed with less computing power than American rivals.
The acquisition aims to enhance Meta's AI offerings and add millions of paying users.
