According to The Information, three people familiar with the matter revealed that Manus AI’s team is negotiating with potential investors, including U.S. venture capital institutions, plans to raise a new round of financing at a valuation of at least $500 million (about 3.75 billion yuan), a valuation that is about five times higher than the previous valuation. According to reports, Manus uses tools such as Anthropic's Claude AI model and pays Anthropic an average of $2 per task. A new round of financing may open Manus to more users.
