Introduction
Developed by Chinese startup Monica, Manus is being pitched as a system that “bridges minds and actions” — an AI that doesn’t just process information but delivers complete results. Manus is a general AI agent that turns your thoughts into actions. It autonomously executes real-world tasks across multiple domains. It leverages Large Language Models (LLMs), multi-modal processing, and tool integration to deliver seamless results for both individuals and businesses.
Performance in the GAIA Benchmark
The GAIA benchmark is designed to evaluate General AI Assistants. It focuses on real-world questions that require fundamental abilities such as reasoning, multi-modality handling, web browsing, and tool-use proficiency.
Manus AI has reportedly achieved state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in the GAIA benchmark, surpassing prominent AI models like OpenAI's GPT-4 and Microsoft's AI systems.
