While the comparison with DeepSeek might make sense from marketing and geopolitical standpoints, it is important to remember that these are two different AI applications with different strategies and functionalities:
- DeepSeek-R1 is an open-source, general-purpose AI model designed to rival OpenAI’s o1;
- Manus AI is a general AI agent currently in closed beta testing. It requires an invitation to access and is not entirely open-source;
- Manus AI hasn’t triggered a significant stock drop like the one Nvidia saw after DeepSeek.
