The Wall Street Journal cites sources placing the deal at $2 billion.
Their main product is an agent capable of functioning as a digital employee, that can complete tasks in research, coding and data analysis with minimal supervision, Reuters writes.
Their agent has processed more than 147 trillion tokens and supported over 80 million virtual computers, CNBC reports.
$100 million revenue
Their service is available both in a free and paid version, and Manus reports annualized revenue of more than $100 million, but the concrete financial terms of this deal have not been officially disclosed.
Manus says they hope to bring their autonomous agent to use across all of Meta’s services, as Meta says that is exactly what they plan to do.
Manus will «continue to operate and sell» its subscription service even as they integrate it into Meta’s products, Meta says, and says their «exceptional talent» will join Meta’s team to deliver «general-purpose agents.»
Alexandr Wang, head of Meta’s superintelligence labs, notes that their agent is currently topping the Remote Labor Index, launched by Scale AI earlier this year.
