AI startup Manus to resume independent operations as deal with Meta unwinds

The AI startup Manus is returning to independent operations following the unwinding of a deal with Meta. This shift occurs after China blocked the acquisition of the company by Meta. Consequently, Manus will resume its activities as an independent entity, reversing the previous agreement. The transition marks a return to autonomy for the startup after the regulatory intervention prevented the completion of the merger, ensuring that Manus continues to operate separately from the social media giant.
