Manus is a Wrapper of Anthropic’s Claude, and It’s Okay
- Manus, a Chinese startup, has developed a 'general purpose AI agent' that can autonomously plan, execute tasks, and deliver results in real time.
- Praised for its capabilities, Manus can complete professional work quickly, showcased features like data analysis, creating itineraries, and received positive feedback on its user experience.
- Manus utilizes a human-in-the-loop approach, where human work is required for various permissions and approvals, and was evaluated in the GAIA benchmark, outperforming OpenAI's Deep Research.
- Despite being a wrapper of Anthropic's Claude Sonnet model, Manus has been appreciated for its well-designed interface and agentic capabilities.
- Some users critiqued Manus for issues like taking excessive time on tasks, getting stuck on web searches, and being invite-only.
- However, professionals like Aidan McLaughlin from OpenAI commend Manus for its value creation, emphasizing capabilities over architecture.
- The development of an open-source alternative for Manus called 'OpenManus' on GitHub has sparked anticipation, indicating that Manus' capabilities can be replicated.
- Criticism also arose regarding Manus' underlying models, potential slowdown due to using multiple models, and its invite-only distribution strategy.
- The evolution of Manus prompts questions about when other major players in the AI ecosystem will release more accessible versions of similar capabilities.
