Meta to Acquire Manus in $2–$3 Billion Deal, Ending China Operations

Overview

• Meta will operate and commercialize Manus’s autonomous agent across its ecosystem, including Meta AI, while Manus maintains its Singapore base and subscription service.
• Meta says Chinese ownership will be removed and services in China will cease, with reporting noting the move could heighten U.S.–China tensions.
• Reports place the deal’s value between $2 billion and $3 billion, and O Globo reports Manus generated about $125 million in annualized revenue this year.
• Meta describes Manus as a leading general‑purpose multi‑agent system; the company reports processing 147 trillion tokens and creating 80 million virtual computers.
• Journalists highlight privacy, data‑sovereignty and regulatory risks, citing broad data collection via extensions and links to Chinese investors as areas of concern.
