Please stop bragging about Manus. He is not as good as you say! In fact, it makes me angry just thinking about it!

I am going to tell you some truth today and pour cold water on Manus. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, please leave immediately. Thank you!

Overnight, Manus was hyped up as a "net-famous AI", but no one seemed to care how many practical problems it could solve.

What’s even more exaggerated is that many self-media bloggers have never used it and don’t even know what it can do. But after watching a few videos and reading a few articles, they start to promote it.

It’s incredible. Another DeepSeek, which beats OpenAI and DeepSeek. It’s the light of domestic AI, the GPT moment of AI Agent. AGI has arrived, completely liberating productivity. It’s built by a purely Chinese team. It’s explosive. It’s crazy. Workers are going to be completely unemployed…

My God, even the top official media are bragging about it. You are going to get married, but you haven't even seen the real wife yet. Not only you, most people have never seen her, but everyone is bragging about it and telling you that she is a fairy.

In the end, you really didn't think about anything and just started preparing the bride price?

What kind of logic is this? What's wrong with this world? Where is the dialectical thinking? There are even so many people comparing Manus with DeepSeek. Is this on the same level?

It reminds me of Boss Jia back then, who raised billions of dollars by making dozens of pages of PPT. With one page of PPT, seven or eight small goals were achieved!

Oh, what a magical world!

I would like to ask three questions, and I hope you can help me solve them.

1.What underlying technological breakthroughs does Manus have?

2. Are you a Chinese team specializing in overseas services?

3. The invitation code has been hyped up to 10 million yuan, who is paying for it?

The current AI circle has three characteristics:

1. The teams that really engage in technical research and development are all keeping a low profile;

2. It seems that news media and self-media are guiding the development of AI;

3. Capital speculation and the phenomenon of "cutting leeks" are serious.

I will try to analyze the above three questions:

1. In my opinion, Manus is essentially a workflow that packages multiple large models.

If you look up what its core technological breakthroughs are, you will find that the key words are: closed-loop task execution capability, multimodal processing and memory reuse mechanism, lightweight architecture and low resource consumption.

Well, is this enough to make the whole network brag about it? It's just that it started earlier and released an AI Agent earlier. I don't deny that its level of innovation and resource integration is high, but other companies can do these.

Deepin, Alibaba, Tencent, ByteDance, OpenAI, Google, which one can't do this? It's nothing more than a matter of time. There is really no core technological breakthrough.

So many people compare it to DeepSeek, but they are not even on the same level.

Think about the reason why DeepSeek became so popular:

1. Breakthroughs in core underlying technologies have greatly improved the ability to solve problems;

2. Open source: the underlying code is open source so that people all over the world can learn and do secondary development;

3. Cheap, very easy to use, but the API price is super low;

4. It has a wide audience. No matter what education background, circle, age or gender, it can be used for free. Even square dance aunties can use it to guide square dance arrangements, and uncles buying vegetables in the farmer's market can use it to guide business analysis.

And what about our AI influencer Manus?

I don’t know. I’ve never seen it. What does it look like? How much computing power does it consume? How much is the price? Who is the target audience? I really don’t know.

2. In my opinion, no matter how good Chinese AI products are, if they cannot serve the Chinese people, they have nothing to do with me.

You are not the pride of domestic products, you are not made in China, and you are not a purely Chinese team. Then why don't you launch your product in China? There is no problem with going overseas. If you have your strategic considerations, that's fine too. I don't have to use moral kidnapping on you, but looking at your login interface, I feel a bit confused.

WeChat, QQ, +86, NetEase Mail, are you so unbearable? Do you have to use Google and Apple accounts to log in?

I'm a newbie who can't use magic, and I can only watch your awesome Chinese technical team serve overseas users?

It really is outrageous!

3. You are still on the inside, and the invitation code ranges from 20,000-50,000-1000,000 yuan. Are you insulting the IQ of the people? The excavator in the gold rush is not worth this price!

Of course, this may be malicious hype by a third party and has nothing to do with the development team, but what is the practical significance of this matter, who is the ultimate beneficiary, and who is actually paying the bill?

Or, would there really be someone who would spend this price to buy an invitation code just to experience a large collection of multiple models?

Everyone, please be rational. What we want is not an "AI internet celebrity" product, but AI that can truly solve problems.

Please put down the marketing knife, pay less attention to marketing and more attention to technology. Do not ignore real needs, create false pain points, and do not follow the hype and overdraw industry credit.

By the way, the so-called Manus has fueled a surge in the AI ​​sector. In my opinion, this is the joint result of overseas institutions being optimistic about Chinese assets, technological progress, policy dividends and capital push. Please do not follow the trend blindly and pay more attention to the "Two Sessions".

In the long run, the key is to return to performance verification and ecosystem building capabilities.

The explosion of Manus is very similar to the blockchain and metaverse of the past. Capital needs new stories and the public desires new miracles. However, technological revolution has never been driven by hot searches and invitation codes.

Instead of indulging in the collective carnival of "the light of domestic AI", it is better to give more applause to those engineers who write code silently.

After all, real technological breakthroughs are often born on the bench in the laboratory rather than on the hot search list of self-media.

Here are three suggestions for ordinary people:

1. There is no need to spend money to buy an invitation code. This is a real harvest. What's the use of experiencing and testing it? Such products will definitely be launched by other major manufacturers within a month, and during this period, you will not really miss any opportunities.

2. Regarding AI, don’t be overly anxious. Learn how to apply it in a down-to-earth manner, use it to solve practical problems, and become someone who can control AI. Don’t overthink the issue of AI replacing other technologies. Tools are always tools, and your core competitiveness lies in your creativity and judgment. This is an era that will not pass in the blink of an eye.

3. Be patient and let the bubbles disperse, then truly useful AI products will emerge.
