Meta gives up control of Chinese AI startup Manus after eight months
Chinese AI company Manus has laid out its plans to operate as an independent company following the reversal of its acquisition by Meta.

At the same time, Anthropic noted that the technology has its limitations. A label does not guarantee that material was created by Claude. Similarly, the absence of a label is not necessarily proof that the material is not AI-generated.
