Скачать или смотреть What Meta's Manus Deal Really Signals

Meta announced the acquisition of Manus this morning.

There’s a lot of speculation around the deal size — but that’s not the point.

In this video, I focus on two things that actually matter:

1️⃣ Speed
Manus was:

Incorporated in 2022

Launched its product in March

Reached ~$100M ARR by mid-December

Acquired after a negotiation reportedly lasting just 10 days

This is one of the fastest major acquisition decisions Meta has ever made.

2️⃣ Culture
With 60+ Chinese engineers from Manus joining Meta — alongside earlier hires like Alexandr Wang and Shenjia Zhao —
👉 Is Meta’s AI organization becoming more Chinese?

Execution speed, work culture, and operating norms may all shift — and that will shape where AI goes next.

Finally, congratulations to the Manus team and shareholders — well done.
