< img src = "/uploads/blogs/22/5a/ib-f-fqvu8igna_15237c6f.jpg" Alt = "in China created & quot; revolutionary & quot; quot; < P >< Em > Chinese startup Butterfly Effect, which supports the Tencent Holdings Technological Giant, loudly entered the local market of large language models (LLM). Interesting of the product of the company & ndash; Not like a Chatgpt similar, such as Chinese Deeseek, which could not answer the question of events on Tiananmen Square. It is Manus, Shi-agent, an assistant who can do many tasks. But it is difficult to check & ndash; It is not in open access.
< p >< Em > Chinese Press Expected praise Manus & ndash; “This is about expanding artificial intelligence”, writes Hong Kong edition & nbsp; South China Morning Post & nbsp; (SCMP). Butterfly Effect declares the ambitious capabilities of the agent & ndash; from buying real estate to video game development. However, the Western press is more critical & ndash; The Techcrunch believes that Chinese medias create increased excitement around the SI-Agent. < p >< Em > 24 Channel & nbsp; gathered the main thing about a new Chinese product. 0 ~/p > ~ ~ > 62 < H2 class = "Anchor-Link" id = "1" name = "1" > What is known about the “new generation” Agent “~ < p > in March Butterfly Effect conducted a closed presentation Manus. According to the developers, this tool is able to perform a wide range of practical tasks & ndash; from creating individual websites to a detailed stock market analysis. For example, according to a demonstration video on Manus.im, Manus can quickly form a traveling route to Japan, evaluate Tesla shares, or provide real estate advice in New York, taking into account user requests.
~ ~ ~ > < P class = "insert cke-fan" >< strong > Interesting! & nbsp; the name Manus comes from the Latin word “hand” & ndash; It is a metaphor that emphasizes the agent's ability to assist users by performing routine tasks.
< P > However, it is difficult to understand how powerful and useful the agent is, and what tasks he can do in practice. After all, limited access to Manus only for beta-test under access codes does not allow you to check its real capabilities
< P >< Strong > Founder and CEO of Butterfly Effect, 33-year-old Xiao Hun, explains that manus differs from traditional chatbot Answers.
< P class = "bloquote cke-mackup" > Shi-agent is more like a person than a regular chatbot. He not only analyzes requests but also adapts to new information, improving his skills, < br />& ndash; said Xiao in an interview with the Tencent News Holding of the same name.< p > SCMP writes that, unlike many competitors, Xiao focused not on the development of new LLM, but on the creation of applied solutions on their basis. Manus uses existing language models, including Claude from anthropic and revised versions of QWEN from Alibaba Group.
< p > Chinese media also mentions the recent hit & ndash; Deeseek, who showed devotion to Chinese propaganda and was unable to answer the “complex” questions about protests in the PRC. But SCMP does not mention it, instead writes that Deeleseek's output has forced other Chinese technological companies to activate the development of their own Open-Source large language models (they are used for Shi-shoes) and attract new investments.~ ~ > 62 ~ < p >Given the rapid evolution of the industry, Butterfly Effect can become one of the leaders of the new generation of AI startups in China, betting on the practical use of artificial intelligence instead of the pursuit of the improvement of language models. This scenario predicts SCMP.
< p class = "insert cke-fan" >0 > strong > Interesting! & nbsp; a technological giant by BYTEDANCE, the owner of Tiktok and the Chinese DUKTIN, DIKTOK. $ 30 million at the beginning of 2024 but received a refusal.
< p > The Hong Kong journalists still left. Butterfly Effect states that Manus ahead of Deep Research of American Openai by Gaia & ndash; Independent Benchmark to evaluate the overall capabilities of artificial intelligence. SCMP has questioned this because of limited access to Manus.
< p >In March, Chinese Business Daily reporters visited the Butterfly Effect office in Uhan. At the gate of startup hung the inscription: “Closed for development. Please do not bother”.
< h2 class = "Anchor-Link" id = "2" name = "2" > Who is the founder of Butterfly Effect 33-year-old Xiao Hun, founder Butterfly Effect, & ndash; Graduate of Hachuchun University of Science and Technology (Hust) in Uhan. According to the university site, he headed student teams that created a number of intra -university products, including a tool for choosing the best specialty. Xiao graduated from a bachelor's degree in software engineering. < Br />< Br /> Butterfly Effect he founded two months before the Chatgpt launch in 2022. The company's first product was Monica AIHowever, not only Xiao attracts attention. The chief scientist of Czi Ichao became the youngest participant in the rating & nbsp; forbes China & Nbsp; “30 to 30” in 2012 and 2013. Back in school, he created a Mammoth mobile browser, and in 2012 he founded Peak Labs, receiving investments from Zhenfund and Sequoia China (now Hongshan). < h2 class = "Anchor-Link" id = "3" name = "3" > or justified the hype around Manus < p > Critical view of Manus is observed by the American edition & nbsp; techcrunch. The media recalls positive feedback from US Tops AI and experts, as well as the fact that inviting codes to Manus & nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; for thousands of dollars on the Chinese platform Xianyu. But is all this hype ?0 ~/p > < P class = "insert cke-mackup" >Manus was not created from scratch. According to social networks, the platform combines existing and specially adapted AI models, including anthropic & Rsquo; S Claude and Qwen from Alibaba. They are used to perform tasks such as writing analytical reports or analysis of financial documents.
< p > However the first users manus are not delighted. In particular, the co-founder of AI-startup Pleias Alexander Doria in X & Nbsp; noted that during testing he faced errors and endless cycles. Other users complained that manus makes factual errors, not always & nbsp; referred & nbsp; to sources and & nbsp; skips & nbsp; obvious information that can be found online.~ ~ < p class = "bloquote cke-mapup" >My own experience was not too successful. I asked the platform to complete a simple task: to order a sandwich with a chicken from a top institution in my area. After 10 minutes, the manus hangs. The second attempt was a little better & ndash; AI found the appropriate item in the menu, but could not complete the order or provide a link for the design, < Br /> & ndash; Techcrunch journalist Kyle Wiggers writes.
< P > At the same time in Manus Techcrunch explained that current beta version is intended for “system stress and error detection”.
~ < p > But if manus does not meet the technical promises why it became so popular ? played an important role in access to access & ndash; Invitations to closed beta testing have created an exclusivity effect, considered in Techcrunch.
< p > Chinese media quickly declared Manus a breakthrough in the field of AI. For example, & nbsp; qq News & nbsp; called it “the pride of domestic developments.” In social networks, misinformation about the capabilities of the platform. For example, viral video & nbsp; showed how manus works with several applications on a smartphone, but it turned out that it was not a real demonstration video.~ ~ > 62 > < p > some of the enthusiasts in X compared Manus with Chinese Deeseek, although these analogies are questionable. Butterfly Effect does not develop its own Shi models, unlike Deeceek, and so far the startup has not opened its technologies.
< P > It should be noted that Manus is still at an early stage of development. The company claims that it is working on scaling computing resources and correcting errors. However, it is still more like a situation where expectations are significantly ahead of the real technology capabilities.
