AI代理初创公司曼斯在自家母公司Meta被迫放弃收购后，成功融资超过5亿美元。
AI agent startup Manus has raised more than $500 million in its first funding round since Meta was forced to abandon its acquisition of the company.
曼斯的母公司蝴蝶效应周四表示，本轮融资由私募股权公司Boyu Capital和风险投资机构IDG Capital领投，现有股东腾讯、HSG和ZhenFund跟投。
Butterfly Effect, Manus' parent company, said Thursday that the round was led by private equity firm Boyu Capital and venture investor IDG Capital, with follow-on investment from existing shareholders Tencent, HSG and ZhenFund.
该公司未透露融资后的估值。彭博社上月报道称，曼斯在本轮融资中估值将翻倍至40亿美元，成为该国最有价值的AI代理公司。
The company did not disclose its post-funding valuation. Bloomberg reported last month that Manus was set to double its valuation to $4 billion in this financing round, making it the country's most valuable AI agent maker.
这笔融资表明，投资者并不畏惧北京此前阻止Meta以20亿美元收购曼斯的决定。Meta在收购被阻时，正计划将曼斯的团队和技术整合到其系统中。这也表明，尽管基础模型发展迅速且价格竞争日益激烈，AI代理初创公司的吸引力仍然保持。
The raise suggests investors aren't deterred by Beijing's unprecedented order to block Meta's short-lived $2 billion acquisition. Meta was working to integrate Manus' team and technology into its system when authorities blocked the deal. It also shows that appetite for AI-agent startups has held up, even as the underlying foundation models improve quickly and price competition intensifies.
Eurasia Group中国总监丹王表示：“融资表明Meta案件的短期影响已得到控制，投资者愿意支持曼斯作为一家独立公司，”他还指出，人们对AI代理的商业潜力重新充满信心。
"The fundraising shows that the short-term fallout of the Meta case has been contained and investors are willing to back Manus as an independent company," said Dan Wang, China director at Eurasia Group, also noting the renewed confidence in the commercial potential of AI agents.
本月早些时候，曼斯表示，其在与Meta分离后已恢复独立运营，并表示创始团队将继续推进面向全球用户的生成式AI代理。
Earlier this month, Manus said it had resumed independent operations after its split from Meta and that its founding team would continue to push forward generative AI agents for users globally.
曾被视为中国初创公司拓展全球市场的典范的曼斯，如今成为处于北京与华盛顿监管机构之间两难的公司的警示 tale。
Once seen as a blueprint for Chinese startups seeking global reach, Manus has become a cautionary tale for companies squeezed between regulators in Beijing and Washington.
该公司于2025年初在中国成立，随后在获得美国风投公司Benchmark的支持后将员工调往新加坡。Meta公司于12月份宣布收购。中国监管机构随后阻止了这笔交易。国家发展和改革委员会表示，已决定“禁止对Manus项目的外国投资”。到那时，Meta已开始将Manus的团队和技术融入自身。
The company launched in early 2025 in China, then moved its staff to Singapore after winning backing from U.S. venture firm Benchmark. Meta announced the acquisition in December. Chinese regulators later blocked it. The National Development and Reform Commission said it had decided to "prohibit foreign investment in the Manus project." By then, Meta had begun integrating Manus's team and technology into its own.
自分拆之后，这家人工智能初创公司推出了Manus 2.0，它建立在一套名为Cascade的新内部执行系统之上。它还推出了Cue，一个独立的个人代理应用程序，其中每个代理都拥有自己的电子邮件地址、电话号码和移动钱包。
Since the split, the AI startup has unveiled Manus 2.0, built on a new in-house execution system called Cascade. It also launched Cue, a standalone personal-agent app in which each agent has its own email address, phone number, and mobile wallet.
Meta公司继续推进自家的个人人工智能代理项目，于9月初推出了其Muse代理，该代理模仿了开源人工智能代理OpenClaw。
Meta has pressed ahead with its own personal AI agent, launching its Muse agent in early September, modeled on the open-source AI agent OpenClaw.
