Manus AI, a general-purpose AI agent developed by Chinese startup Monica, has resumed normal operations after a brief social media crisis. Positioned as the world's first autonomous AI agent, the product can handle complex real-world tasks such as creating websites, analyzing stock market trends, and planning travel itineraries. Its performance in early 2025 was lauded by the media as a pride of Chinese AI, ranking alongside models like DeepSeek. On March 7th, the official Manus AI X account was suddenly suspended; the initial reason points to mentions from third parties.

Recently, there have been reports that OpenAI is preparing to launch an autonomous AI agent named 'Operator' that can control computers and independently perform various tasks. According to Bloomberg, this AI agent is expected to debut next January as a research preview and developer tool. This move will further intensify the competition among tech giants in the field of AI agents, as recently Anthropic also launched its 'computer usage' feature, while Google is reportedly preparing to do so in December.

Google DeepMind plans to research autonomous language agents to enhance the application of large language models. Through techniques such as instant engineering, self-prompting, and memory, it aims to autonomously achieve given goals. Concerns about alignment stress that more safety research is needed before developing autonomous AI agents. DeepMind is constructing Google's next generation of multimodal model series, Gemini. Google will more independently integrate artificial intelligence technology into its suite of applications.
