Manus partners with Alibaba's Qwen to advance AI integration
Chinese artificial intelligence agent Manus platform announced on Tuesday a strategic partnership with Alibaba Group's Qwen team to integrate all of its functions into homegrown AI models and computing power platforms.
Alibaba told China Daily that Manus and the Qwen team are carrying out cooperation in open-source models, and it is looking forward to working with more global AI innovators.
Technical teams of the two companies are collaborating closely, and committed to jointly develop AI agent products tailored for Chinese users.
The partnership follows Manus' rapid popularity on social media, driven by its ability to handle complex tasks like screening resumes, analyzing stocks and building websites. The AI agent is more advanced than a chatbot because it doesn't only provide suggestions or answers, but delivers tangible results.
Alibaba recently introduced its latest open-source large language model, QwQ-32B, which competes with leading models like DeepSeek R1, marking a significant step toward AI efficiency.
