Manus AI - The Calm Before the Hypestorm … (vs Deep Research + Grok 3)

Is Manus AI the memecoin of the AI world, or legit? I’ll compare it to OpenAI’s Deep Research, Operator, Grok 3 DeepSearch and more to find out. I’ll also let you in on some of the secrets of what makes a good hype campaign, the estimated costs of Manus AI, and where it is strong. Other news (yes, Gemini image editing and research hacking, I mean you), will have to wait for a few more hours, as millions enquire about Manus AI. https://app.grayswan.ai/arena AI Insiders ($9!): https://www.patreon.com/AIExplained Patreon Vid: https://www.patreon.com/posts/4-ai-trends-in-123857767 Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 00:46 - Hype Campaign 02:40 - Single, Public Benchmark 03:12 - What is Manus AI? 04:22 - Test 1 05:12 - Cost and Rate Limits 06:15 - Test 2 vs Deep Research + Grok 3 DeepSearch 08:24 - Test 3 (not AGI) 11:10 - 4 Trends in AI in 2025 11:37 - Hype Works Manus AI: https://manus.im/app Xiao Hong Interview: https://www.chinatalk.media/p/manus-chinas-latest-ai-sensation Gaia Benchmark: https://openreview.net/pdf?id=fibxvahvs3 MIT Report: https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/03/11/1113133/manus-ai-review/ Information Report: https://www.theinformation.com/articles/anthropics-claude-drives-strong-revenue-growth-while-powering-manus-sensation?rc=sy0ihq Hype Examples: https://x.com/Saboo_Shubham_/status/1898425707401031940 https://x.com/EHuanglu/status/1899110687902978373 https://x.com/AJs_AI/status/1898756132384178291 Mistakes: https://x.com/TheXeophon/status/1898737178273829220 Tools and Code: https://x.com/peakji/status/1898994802194346408 https://operator.chatgpt.com/ Non-hype Newsletter: https://signaltonoise.beehiiv.com/ Podcast: https://aiexplainedopodcast.buzzsprout.com/
