Mans International “Be Your Own Boss” Program is designed to help people from all walks of life around the world who are committed to changing their way of thinking, improving their abilities, and achieving financial freedom and time freedom.
Before You Start
First of all, I’m sorry to tell you that it takes a long time to realize financial freedom and time freedom. If for whatever reason, you have obtained a large amount of wealth, it doesn’t mean that you achieved financial freedom automatically. Because you may not have the ability and psychological capacity to manage large amounts of wealth, the money will be consumed at a rate you can’t imagine.
You might say, can I just ask a financial professional to help me take care of my wealth? The question I asked was do you have the ability to select an outstanding and suitable professional?
If you feel that you ALREADY have independent thinking and various skills, then you do not need to participate in this program! All the best!

Before You Go
Every year we make plans. Every day we receive tons of information and learn a lot of knowledge, but why most people still can’t make choices that are beneficial to themselves in the long run, achieve their goals, and become a better version of themselves?
Have you ever carried a regret — something you wish you’d said, done, or understood differently?
If AI could take you back to those moments, helping you relive them, notice what you once missed, and perhaps find peace ，would you want to try it?
The Story — Eulogy
Once upon a time, there was a man who had just retired. He lived a quiet, peaceful life, enjoying his days in solitude.
One seemingly ordinary afternoon, his phone rang. The caller ID displayed an unfamiliar number, but something compelled him to answer.
A calm, professional voice greeted him. It was from a mysterious company, calling on behalf of the family of someone he hadn’t heard from in years — his former lover. She had just passed away. Her family, hoping to preserve the fragments of her past, asked if he would be willing to help piece together the memories they once shared.
He hesitated. The past was a tangled web of emotions, and opening that door again felt frightening and strangely alluring. After a long pause, with a quiet sigh and a mix of uncertainty and unspoken longing, he said yes. He had no idea that this one choice would take him on an unexpected journey — one of rediscovery, buried emotions, and long-forgotten moments.
Soon after, a package arrived: the “Memory Kit.” Inside was a small, button-like device. When he placed it near his temple and turned it on, a soft, warm female voice spoke — it was an AI guide, carefully designed to help him recall the woman he once loved.
But there was a problem.
He couldn’t remember her. Not her voice. Not her face. Everything about her was blurry, as if time had quietly erased the edges of their story.
The AI gently suggested that he try looking for old photos or videos that might spark his memory. He made his way down to the dusty basement, where time seemed to have stood still. After rummaging through boxes filled with forgotten keepsakes, he finally found some old photographs. But something was deeply unsettling — her face had been cut out of every single one.
He froze. He couldn’t even remember what she looked like. The memories that were once vivid and full of warmth now felt distant, like shadows slipping through his fingers.
As fragments of the past began to surface, he remembered how they first met — how she was engaged at the time. Still, their connection was undeniable. They fell in love, stole moments between the chaos, travelled together, and took countless photos. And yet, for reasons he couldn’t fully explain even to himself, he had removed her face from every picture.
One memory struck him with particular force. It was his birthday. She, a gifted cellist, had gone on tour with her orchestra and couldn’t be there. She had called to wish him a happy birthday. But he made a mistake that many men might make on a lonely night — his female colleague picked up the phone. The silence on the other end spoke louder than any words. They fought. Words were said that couldn’t be taken back. She returned only long enough to pack her bags — and then she was gone.
In fact, after their fight, he had bought a ring. With hope still alive in his heart, he travelled to the city where her orchestra was performing and reserved a table at an elegant restaurant, planning to propose. But fate, as it often does, had other plans. He was too late.
Years later, with the guidance of the AI, he uncovered something he had missed all those years ago — a note she had left behind in the room before she walked away. Somehow, back then, he had completely overlooked it.
In that note, she made a heartbreaking confession: she, too, had momentarily lost her way. In her confusion, she had been unfaithful, and later discovered she was pregnant. She admitted there was no love in that betrayal, only fear and loneliness. She asked for his forgiveness and left an address, hoping he would still want to see her, to talk, to try again.
But he never read the note. And because of that missed moment, their story, once full of love and possibility, was lost forever, drowned in misunderstanding and silence.
He carried the weight of regret like a shadow, following him through the rest of his life.
Until, in the final moments of his journey, the AI revealed a truth she had kept hidden: she was not just an artificial guide, but the digital avatar of his ex-girlfriend’s daughter.
In the final scene, he attended his former lover’s funeral. In the quiet hall, a girl sat on stage, playing the cello. The music drifted softly through the air, like a voice calling from the past — familiar, aching, beautiful.
And in that moment, as the notes wrapped around him like an old memory, he finally saw her face again. Her smile. Her eyes.
Love had never truly vanished. It had simply waited — buried beneath time, silence, and sorrow — until he was ready to find it again.
He finally found peace.
This is the story told in the seventh season of Black Mirror, in the hauntingly beautiful episode titled “Eulogy.”
The Lingering Shadows: Forgetting Isn’t Always Letting Go
People are complex. Sometimes, a casual decision made years ago — or a moment of impulse — can leave us with a lifetime of regret.
There are things we believe we’ve moved on from, memories we think we’ve buried. But in truth, they linger like seeds planted deep within us. Over time, they grow into quiet knots in our hearts — subtle, but powerful. Without even realizing it, these knots can shape how we live today, influencing our emotions, our relationships, and the choices we make.
Echoes of What Was: AI’s Invitation to Face Lost Moments
We all carry a few lingering regrets — missed chances, words left unsaid, paths not taken. Sometimes, they rise to the surface when we least expect it.
But what if an AI could help you “go back,” not to change the past, but to revisit those moments? To see what you missed, to feel what you buried, to say what was left unspoken. Would you take that chance?
Maybe nothing on the outside would change — but inside, something might shift. You might finally release the emotions you’ve held in for so long, or find the courage to truly face your regrets… and make peace with them.
I’d love to hear your story. What’s the one moment you wish you could revisit — and would you want AI to help you do it? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
The viral rise of DeepSeek has created a widespread illusion in the tech investment world: that equipping robots with large language models (LLMS) will instantly unlock Westworld-style intelligence. But while tech giants are still fine-tuning their AI “brains” in the lab, it’s the embodied robots — those capable of striking physical feats — that are already stealing the spotlight.
From Unitree’s robots performing backflips, to UBTech’s Walker X practicing Tai Chi, and even Tiangong Ultra completing a half-marathon, these machines showcase remarkable hardware finesse — but not true autonomy.
The Core Contradiction
At the heart of the humanoid robotics industry lies a growing gap:
Advanced hardware performance vs. underdeveloped AI cognition.
According to the Lide Robotics Platform, China’s humanoid robot market is projected to reach ¥8.24 billion (~$1.1B) by 2025, with over 70% of orders coming from industrial use cases such as automotive and electronics manufacturing. In these environments, what’s required is precise execution of pre-programmed tasks, not AI-driven decision-making.
A New Catalyst for the Humanoid Robotics Industry
April brought two high-profile events that spotlighted the rapid momentum in humanoid April brought two high-profile events that spotlighted the rapid momentum in humanoid robotics. On April 15, the 2nd China Humanoid Robotics and Embodied Intelligence Industry Conference was held in Beijing. Just days later, on April 19, the world’s first Humanoid Robot Half Marathon took place in Yizhuang, Beijing.
The race covered a full 21.0975 kilometres, drawing 20 robot teams and 12,000 human runners. Only 6 robot teams crossed the finish line — an impressive but modest 30% completion rate. The champion, Tiangong Ultra, broke performance records with a time of 2 hours, 40 minutes, and 42 seconds, hitting a top speed of 12 km/h and sustaining operation for over 2 hours.
More than a spectacle, this event served as a technological stress test and a vivid signal of new trends and opportunities emerging in China’s humanoid robotics industry.
Technology Proven: Pushing the Limits Beyond the Lab
The humanoid robot half marathon served as the ultimate proving ground, testing long-duration stability and terrain adaptability under real-world, high-stress conditions. It marked a critical step in transitioning robotic technologies from lab prototypes to commercial viability.
Key Technical Breakthroughs:
Joint Flexibility & Power System Innovation The widespread use of domestic harmonic drive motors was a standout. By reducing motor speed, they significantly enhanced joint output and control precision.
Thermal Management Under Extreme Stress Robots performed over 100,000 joint movements within 3 hours, generating substantial heat. This pushed thermal dissipation systems to their limits.
Environmental Adaptability in Open Terrain Facing wind, rain, varied surfaces, and elevation changes, reinforcement learning algorithms proved essential.
Battery Life & Power-Swap Efficiency Hot-swappable battery systems emerged as a key innovation, allowing seamless power replacement without shutting down, similar to drone backup systems, greatly extending operational duration.
Communication & Interference Resistance With 20 robots competing simultaneously, signal interference from motors and overlapping transmissions exposed the need for robust, anti-interference communication architectures.
Industrial Synergy: A Spotlight Moment for Domestic Core Components
This robotics competition was not merely a battleground for cutting-edge technologies — it also served as a crucial platform for showcasing the collaborative strength of China’s industrial supply chain. It accelerated the replacement of imported components by boosting the visibility and influence of domestic core suppliers.
Companies like Motional Electric, Leader Harmonic, and Keli Sensing demonstrated their capabilities in full, with their products playing key roles across a tightly connected value chain — from dynamic balance algorithms and force control sensors to actuators, harmonic reducers, hollow cup motors, dexterous robotic hands, 3D vision systems, and data providers for application scenarios.
Policy and Capital: The Dual Engines Driving China’s Robotics Industry
China’s robotics sector is experiencing unprecedented growth, propelled by a synergistic blend of forward-thinking government policies and substantial capital investments. This dual-engine approach is not only accelerating technological advancements but also solidifying China’s position as a global leader in robotics and intelligent manufacturing.
On March 5, 2025, Premier Li Qiang’s Government Work Report unveiled a comprehensive roadmap for China’s technological future. For the first time, the report highlighted “embodied intelligence” and 6G technology as focal points, alongside the promotion of commercial space endeavours, the low-altitude economy, bio-manufacturing, and quantum technology. These areas are identified as critical to cultivating “new quality productive forces,” emphasizing the nation’s commitment to high-tech, efficient, and sustainable development.
Complementing policy directives, industrial funds are adopting an “industrial operation” model to integrate the ecosystem, attracting strategic investments or orders from industry players and injecting strong momentum into the sector’s development.
National Venture Capital Fund: The National Development and Reform Commission announced the establishment of a state-backed venture capital fund targeting robotics, AI, and cutting-edge innovations. This long-term fund aims to attract nearly 1 trillion yuan (approximately US$138 billion) over 20 years, underscoring China’s commitment to sustained technological advancement.
ICBC’s Technology Innovation Fund: The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) launched an 80 billion yuan (US$11.04 billion) fund focused on bolstering “hard technology” sectors, including semiconductors and advanced manufacturing. This initiative aligns with central directives to support the private economy and technological progress
China’s dual-engine strategy of policy support and capital investment is driving the rapid development of its robotics industry. By fostering a synergistic ecosystem that combines governmental guidance with financial backing, China is well-positioned to lead the next wave of technological innovation in robotics and intelligent manufacturing.
Commercialization Path for Humanoid Robots in China: The “Iron Triangle” of Technology, Application, and Cost
China’s humanoid robotics industry is rapidly advancing, driven by a strategic focus on three interdependent pillars: technological innovation, diversified application scenarios, and cost optimization.
Chinese companies are making significant strides in developing humanoid robots that closely mimic human movements and interactions. For instance, LimX Dynamics has developed algorithms enabling robots to perform dynamic motions like continuous running, while PaXini Technology has engineered tactile sensors that allow robots to distinguish between different human skin textures. These advancements are crucial for integrating robots into environments designed for human use.
Humanoid robots are increasingly being deployed across various sectors in China. In the automotive industry, companies like UBTECH are collaborating with manufacturers such as FAW-Volkswagen to integrate robots into production lines for tasks like bolt tightening and component assembly.
Reducing production costs is essential for the widespread adoption of humanoid robots. Chinese manufacturers benefit from a robust electronics and electric vehicle supply chain, which provides critical components like actuators and batteries at lower costs. For example, Pudu Robotics’ super factory in Jiangsu boasts an annual capacity of 100,000 units, reducing per-unit costs through automation and standardized joint production. Tesla’s Optimus relies on >50% Chinese-made parts, highlighting cost advantages in motors, sensors, and reducers.
Conclusion: The “Asymmetric Breakthrough” of Chinese Innovation
China is charting a pragmatic course — leveraging its cost-effective hardware supply chain to seize real-world application scenarios, and using the resulting data to fuel AI evolution. The victory of “Tiangong Ultra” at the recent robotics competition is more than just a trophy — it’s a signal.
China’s asymmetric breakthrough is a uniquely grounded approach that transforms manufacturing depth and scene-driven iteration into long-term AI leadership. In this strategy, every bolt, sensor, and data point becomes part of a much larger system that is quietly, but powerfully, reshaping the future of intelligent machines.

Alzheimer’s Disease: The #1 Cause Isn’t Age! + A Scientific Self-Test Method
At What Age Does the Brain Start to “Slow Down”?
Let’s start with a quick test: When do you think the brain begins to age?
A. 20–30 years old (In your prime, but is your brain secretly “retiring”?)
B. 30–40 years old (At your career peak, but is your brain already “on strike”?)
C. 40–50 years old (Midlife crisis?)
The answer: Your 20s!
Surprising, right? While you’re busy deciding what to have for lunch, your brain has already begun its decline — neuronal connections start decreasing, memory gradually weakens, and even the groundwork for future conditions like Alzheimer’s may be laid.
What Is the Biggest Risk Factor for Alzheimer’s?
The most significant risk factor for Alzheimer’s isn’t age — it’s brain aging.
According to the World Health Organization’s 2021 data, more than 55 million people worldwide have dementia, and this number is expected to soar to 139 million by 2050. Those with a family history of Alzheimer’s, especially those carrying certain genetic risk factors, face a significantly higher likelihood of developing the disease.
Throughout life, the one constant companion we have is ourselves. But if Alzheimer’s robs us of our independence in old age, what could be more devastating?
The good news: Scientific research suggests that up to 40% of brain aging is influenced by lifestyle choices. This means we have the power to slow the aging process. By tracking brain health over time and assessing the impact of lifestyle changes, we can take proactive steps to preserve cognitive function for the future.
How to Assess Your Brain Health?
— Clock Drawing Test
Let’s start with a simple yet powerful test — the Clock Drawing Test. This quick assessment evaluates four key brain functions and is effective in 80% of early dementia screenings, offering a more objective measure than standard questionnaires.
Try It Yourself:
On a blank sheet of paper, draw a circular clock and complete the following tasks:
✅ Write all 12 numbers in the correct positions.
✅ Set the time to 10:45 (make sure the hour and minute hands are distinct).
✅ Get creative — add a decorative border (i.e. flowers, stars, or animals).
What This Test Reveals
This seemingly simple task evaluates four core cognitive functions:
Visuospatial ability (Is the circle distorted? Are numbers crowded on one side?)
Executive function (Is the number placement logical? Are the hands drawn correctly?)
Attention (Did you miss numbers or set the wrong time?)
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) — MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of the brain. It provides high-resolution structural scans, helping doctors diagnose conditions such as tumors, strokes, brain injuries, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
Blood Biomarkers — Blood tests can detect specific molecules or substances that indicate brain health. Compared to traditional imaging techniques like MRI, blood biomarker analysis is more convenient, cost-effective, and requires minimal equipment. Common biomarkers include beta-amyloid (Aβ) and tau proteins, which are closely linked to Alzheimer’s disease.
Cognitive Testing — Cognitive assessments evaluate your cognitive functions, such as memory, attention, language skills, and logical reasoning, through structured tasks and questionnaires. These non-invasive tests help identify cognitive impairment at an early stage, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer’s disease, and vascular dementia.
Genetic Analysis — For individuals with a family history of neurological disorders, genetic testing can identify risk-related genes and assess predisposition to conditions like Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Why is a Comprehensive Approach Necessary?
No single test can fully assess brain health. A multimodal approach compensates for individual limitations, improving accuracy:
Early Detection — Some diseases may not show up in MRI scans in the early stages, but abnormal blood biomarkers can provide early warning signs.
Reducing Misdiagnosis — Cognitive tests can be influenced by education levels, while genetic testing only indicates risk, not current health status. Combining multiple tests provides a more reliable assessment.
Brain health is a complex interplay of biology, psychology, and genetics. Relying on a single test is like the blind men and the elephant — each gives only a partial picture. A multimodal approach builds a stronger evidence base for precision prevention, early intervention, and personalized care.
AI Hallucination Survival Guide: Case Studies, Causes, and Prevention Strategies
Have You Ever Been “Fooled” by AI? — The $5,000 Lesson from a Lawyer
Let’s start with a real case: Steven A. Schwartz, a veteran lawyer with over 30 years of experience, was fined $5,000 for submitting AI-generated false information in court.
In 2023, Schwartz represented Roberto Mata in a lawsuit against Avianca Airlines. Mata claimed he injured his knee after being struck by a metal food cart during a flight. Schwartz used ChatGPT for legal research to support his case and cited multiple “court cases” in his legal brief. However, the judge soon discovered that these cases didn’t exist in any legal database.
Schwartz later recalled that he specifically asked ChatGPT whether the cases were real, and the AI confidently assured him they were.
Unfortunately, he was misled by AI hallucinations.
Today, let’s talk about AI hallucinations — why AI sometimes makes things up and how to avoid being misled by it.
What Is AI Hallucination?
AI Hallucination is when the content generated by a large language model like ChatGPT looks reasonable but is completely fictitious, inaccurate, or even misleading.
For example:
You ask AI: “Who invented time travel?”
AI responds: “Dr. John Spacetime invented time travel in 1892 and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery.”
Sounds fascinating, right? But there’s a problem — it’s completely false! Dr. John Spacetime doesn’t exist, time travel hasn’t been invented, and the Nobel Prize wasn’t even established until 1901.
How Does AI Hallucination Happen?
According to a research team led by Professor Shen Yang at Tsinghua University, AI hallucinations mainly stem from five key issues:
1. Data Availability Issues — AI relies on training data that may be incomplete, outdated, or biased.
2. Limited Depth of Understanding — AI struggles with complex questions and often makes assumptions.
3. Inaccurate Context Interpretation — AI may misinterpret the context of a query, leading to misleading responses.
4. Weak External Information Integration — AI cannot access or verify real-time external information and depends solely on existing data.
5. Limited Logical Reasoning & Abstraction — AI often makes logical reasoning and abstract thinking errors, especially for complex tasks.
Image source: Types of AI hallucinations summarized by Professor Shen Yang’s team.
Types of AI Hallucinations
Based on these factors, AI hallucinations can be categorized into five main types:
1. Data Misuse — AI misinterprets or incorrectly applies data, resulting in inaccurate outputs.
2. Context Misunderstanding — AI fails to grasp the background or context of a query, leading to irrelevant or misleading answers.
3. Information Fabrication — AI fills gaps with made-up content when lacking necessary data.
4. Reasoning Errors — AI makes logical mistakes, leading to incorrect conclusions.
5. Pure Fabrication — AI generates entirely fictional information that sounds plausible but has no basis in reality.
Tips to Protect Yourself from AI Hallucinations
AI hallucinations are inevitable, but you can reduce the risk of being misled by improving how you interact with AI. Here are two simple yet effective strategies:
1. Give Clear Instructions — Don’t Make AI “Guess”
— Be specific: Vague prompts can cause AI to “fill in the blanks” with incorrect information. Instead of asking, “Tell me some legal cases,” ask, “List U.S. federal court cases related to aviation accidents from 2020.”
— Set boundaries: Define limits for AI responses, such as “Use Xiaomi’s 2024 Financial Statement.”
— Request sources: Ask AI to provide citations or references so you can verify the information.
2. Verify AI’s Output — Don’t Trust It Blindly
— Check sources: If AI provides references, make sure they exist and are credible. Verify citations from websites or academic papers.
— Stay skeptical: Treat AI-generated content as a reference, not absolute truth. Use your own expertise and common sense to assess accuracy.
— Cross-check with other tools: Use multiple AI platforms to answer the same question and compare the results.
Remember, no matter how smart AI seems, it’s just a tool — the real judgment lies with you. Instead of getting tricked by AI, learn how to outsmart it!
Key Considerations for Choosing an AI Hallucination Detection Tool
With the rise of AI-generated content, many companies now offer solutions to help businesses detect and mitigate AI hallucinations. While I do not endorse specific providers, here are some key factors to consider when making a selection.
1. Core Evaluation Criteria
The most important aspect is assessing how the tool conducts fact-checking. Look for:
— The evaluation metrics it uses to measure AI accuracy.
— Whether it provides detailed explanation reports that clearly identify hallucinations, explain their causes, and cite reliable sources.
2. Advanced Features to Match Your Needs
Depending on your company’s specific use case, consider whether the tool offers:
— Real-Time Verification Pipelines — Detects and corrects hallucinations as AI generates content.
— Multimodal Fact-Checking — Simultaneously verifies text, images, and audio for accuracy.
— Self-Healing AI Models — Automatically corrects inaccurate outputs without human intervention.
— Enterprise-Specific Knowledge Integration — Custom AI fact-checking models tailored to private datasets.
3. Unique Differentiators
Some providers offer specialized features that may align with your company’s budget and requirements, such as:
— Synthetic Data Generation for Hallucination Training — Creates controlled datasets to enhance AI verification models.
— Crowdsourced Human Review — Combines AI detection with expert reviewers for hybrid verification.
— Legal & Compliance Fact-Checking — Monitors AI-generated content for regulatory and contractual compliance.
— Proprietary Transformer-Based Verification — Uses a unique AI architecture optimized for detecting hallucinations.
Choosing an AI hallucination detection tool is fundamentally about balancing the Accuracy–Cost–Scalability triangle. It’s essential to address current business pain points, pinpoint the affected processes, weigh costs against benefits, and ensure flexibility for future tech upgrades and expansion.
Is anyone else eagerly waiting for Manus to save the day? My inbox is buried under 5,800+ unread emails, and my direct messages are constantly overflowing. I feel like I’m drowning in information and want to go on strike.
Overflowing Emails and DMs
Now, I can’t wait to rub my hands and wait for Manus’s application code! Come and save me, Manus!
On March 6, 2025, AI development ushered in a major moment — Manus was released! This is an autonomous AI agent that can independently complete complex real-world tasks without direct human guidance. It was created by the Chinese startup Monica.
The name Manus comes from the Latin “Mens et Manus” (head and hand), which coincides with the motto of MIT, symbolizing the perfect combination of creativity and execution.
Xiao Hong — China’s “Ultimate AI Warrior”
To understand Manus, you first need to know its founder — Xiao Hong, widely recognized as the “Hexagonal Warrior in AI” for his exceptional technical expertise and commercialization skills.
Image source: Sina Technology Monica Founder Xiao Hong
Born in the 1990s, Xiao Hong is already a seasoned entrepreneur:
2015: Founded Nightingale Technology, launching WeChat tools Yiban Assistant and Weiban Assistant, serving 2M+ business users. The project was later acquired by a unicorn in 2020.
2022: Founded Butterfly Effect and launched the AI browser plug-in Monica — initially a ChatGPT-for-Google tool. It quickly amassed 10M+ users, becoming a top AI assistant worldwide.
Xiao Hong actually started raising funds for Manus back in 2017, selling 10% equity for 3M RMB (USD 410K). At the time, many investors were skeptical. But through persistence and innovation, Manus has emerged as the world’s first general AI agent, redefining what AI can achieve.
What problem does Manus solve?
We often say that your knowledge and vision shape your life. Many people set goals — like saving $10,000 for a trip — but struggle to create a clear, actionable plan. That’s where Manus comes in!
As an AI agent, Manus doesn’t just give advice — it independently plans and executes complex tasks, delivering real results. Here’s what makes it a game-changer:
1. Autonomous Execution — No need for constant prompts. Manus completes tasks independently.
2. Multitasking Mastery — It can handle multiple tasks at once, even unpacking compressed files automatically.
3. Smart Task Breakdown — When tester Ma Ning asked Manus to “explain Bernoulli’s principle to a 4-year-old”, Manus didn’t just generate text — it created an interactive webpage with balloons, airplanes, and bubbles, plus mini-games to make learning fun. In contrast, ChatGPT or DeepSeek would only provide a text-based explanation.
Technical Advantages
Manus uses a Multiple Agent architecture, leveraging tools like code writing, web browsing, and app operation within a virtual environment to complete tasks. In the GAIA benchmark*, it even performs better than other AI products, such as OpenAI.
* The GAIA benchmark is a test that measures how well an AI agent can plan, execute, and complete real-world tasks independently — without constant human guidance.
Is Manus Better Than General Large Language Models?
Manus and general large language models (LLMs) like DeepSeek and ChatGPT aren’t the same kind of product.
As serial entrepreneur Fu Sheng aptly puts it, LLMs are the core of intelligence — like a deep-thinking brain. Manus, on the other hand, enhances AI’s usability by adding a “shell” to this powerful brain, enabling it to seamlessly connect with websites, tools, and the real world.
Serial entrepreneur Fu Sheng
Here’s a simple analogy:
— LLMs are like Stephen Hawking (the famous physicist behind A Brief History of Time) — brilliant, deep thinkers but limited in interacting with the world. — Manus is like Hawking’s wheelchair, empowering him to communicate and act freely.
A Brief History of Time Stephen Hawking
What makes Manus unique? It bridges the gap between intelligence and execution, turning AI’s knowledge into action.
Is Manus the World’s First General AI Agent?
This claim is a bit tricky. Large language models (LLMs) like DeepSeek and ChatGPT are “general” by nature, while AI Agents like Manus act more like specialized templates built on human experience, enhancing LLMs’ capabilities in specific areas. Since each field requires different templates, it’s nearly impossible for AI Agents to cover all domains and achieve true “generality.”
In the future, we’ll likely see multiple specialized agents — much like humans, who share similar intelligence but develop unique professional skills through different training. So agents are destined to be experts, not jacks-of-all-trades.
