Manus Is The Future Of AI Agents. DeepSeek R2 Next Week? The 3 in 1 Transforming Robot!

Manus shows everyone the true power of agents. DeepSeek R2 may go live next week. And a three in one transforming robot. Here's today's AI news. All the buzz right now is about Manus. Manus is a new AI tool that is allowing people to complete complex end to end tasks that require multiple steps, planning and services.

Some people have already been calling it this year's second DeepSeek moment. Early reports were describing Manus as its own unique model, but it would seem that Manus is actually just bringing multiple existing AI tools like Claude Sonnet into a single service to allow users to complete work that would normally have them jumping across several different tools.

So while this might actually be more of a very custom wrapper for some existing services, it still shouldn't be underestimated. The real impact of Manus is that it's allowing everyone to really see the potential of Agentic style work when it's done competently. Up until now, most services like operator from OpenAI and proxy from Convergence have felt quite slow and limited.

It doesn't take long using one of these tools for you to find their limitations and weaknesses. Manus seems very different as it appears to be handling far more complex tasks without hitting obstacles and doing it seamlessly and at speed. Consequently, people are looking at the results and imagining the power of these types of tools when applied at scale.

Speaking of Deepseek moments, there have been some rumours circulating today that DeepSeek R2 could drop as soon as March 17th. Last week we reported that Deepseek were planning to accelerate the release of their latest model and it certainly seems like it's likely to be sometime in March. Can Deepseek steal the headlines once again?

And finally, is it a car? Is it a quadruped? Is it a humanoid? Actually, it's all three. In this cool demo of some of their robotics research, Swiss company Rivr shows the transformative power of their robot. Okay, so humanoid might be pushing it, but this concept does show the potential for robots to be able to take on multiple forms.
