The field of artificial intelligence has recently ushered in an important cooperation, and Manus has officially reached a strategic partnership with Alibaba Cloud's large language model Tongyi Qianwen. This news was released by Manus through its official video account "Manus AI", which marks that both parties will realize all the functions of Manus on domestic models and computing power platforms. This cooperation not only demonstrates China's innovative capabilities in the field of artificial intelligence, but also injects new vitality into the development of global AI technology.
At present, Manus and Tongyi Qianwen's technical team have collaborated closely and are committed to creating more creative general-purpose intelligent products for Chinese users. Tongyi Qianwen expressed high expectations for this cooperation and expressed his willingness to cooperate with more global AI innovators. This cooperation will not only promote the technological progress of Manus, but will also provide a broader platform for Tongyi Qianwen's model application.
Manus is a universal agent product developed by Chinese AI startup Butterfly Effect, which was founded in 2023. On the evening of March 5, 2025, the Butterfly Effect released an early preview of Manus and promoted it as "the world's first universal agent product." In the video released, Manus demonstrates its ability to automate complex tasks, including screening resumes, picking properties and analyzing stocks. Users only need to provide simple instructions, and Manus can automatically complete these tasks, greatly improving work efficiency.
Although Manus has been questioned after the product was released due to issues such as "busy service and unable to log in", industry insiders generally believe that the product is still in its early stages and has huge development potential. Ji Yichao, co-founder and chief scientist of Manus, revealed that in terms of basic models, Manus uses different fine-tuning models based on Claude and Qwen, rather than self-developed large models. This strategy not only reduces development costs, but also accelerates product iteration and optimization.
The cooperation between Manus and Tongyi Qianwen marks an important step in China's independent innovation in the field of artificial intelligence. With the deepening of cooperation between the two parties, Manus is expected to be used in more fields in the future and provide users with more intelligent services. At the same time, this cooperation also provides new ideas and directions for the development of global AI technology, demonstrating China's strong strength and innovative capabilities in the field of artificial intelligence.
