There are reports that a major deal by Meta Platforms is about to be finalized—acquiring Manus AI, with a transaction value potentially reaching $2.5 billion, which also includes retention compensation for employees.

Manus AI primarily provides subscription-based AI products and services to enterprise clients. This marks a turning point for Meta—signaling the social media giant's first major push into the enterprise AI market.

From a competitive landscape perspective, this move is quite interesting. Salesforce, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI have long been vying for positions in the AI agency field, and through this acquisition, Meta aims to gain a stronger voice in this fierce competition. AI agencies have become a new battleground that major tech companies are fiercely contesting; those who can offer more robust enterprise solutions will have the advantage in the upcoming market battles.

Meta finally can't sit still anymore, pouring 2.5 billion just to grab a slice of the AI agent cake... But then again, compared to OpenAI's crazy fundraising, it's not that big of a deal. --- Another 2.5 billion, this guy is really rich, just not sure if Manus AI is worth this price. --- Damn, Meta is starting to copy? Learning from Microsoft and Google, in the end, still can't escape the AI disaster haha. --- The lucrative enterprise AI market, everyone wants a piece of it. Meta's move seems quite timely. --- The retention compensation deal is quite sincere, indicating that Manus' talent truly has some skills. --- Everyone is vying for a position in the AI agent track. It feels like this is the real arms race; the social media game has long been outdated.

Can it really beat Microsoft and others? --- In the enterprise AI sector, everyone wants a piece of the pie, it all depends on how much Meta can bite off --- Laughing, Meta is now starting to copy others; OpenAI and others have long been laying out their plans --- Spending 2.5 billion, what kind of splash can Manus AI make? It depends on their real capabilities --- By the way, can this acquisition pass antitrust review? This year, tech giants' acquisitions are so aggressive --- Meta entering the enterprise market? Feels a bit late, but with money, anything is possible --- Another wave of acquisitions before layoffs, employee retention compensation is a highlight --- AI agent is really becoming a hot commodity; major companies dare not fall behind

2.5 billion invested in Manus AI, Meta is really getting anxious. Are they about to go head-to-head with Microsoft and OpenAI now?
