Manus, an AI agent released by Singapore-based tech start-up Monica, said in a note to users on Tuesday that it will soon return to operating as an independent company.
According to the company's note, "this is part of our separation from Meta; we must take this step to comply with regulatory requirements in specific parts of the world."
As part of Manus transition back to independent operations and to comply with regulatory requirements in specific jurisdictions, data generated by certain users on or after December 29, 2025, will be deleted from 8:00 am on August 23 through August 24, 2026 (SGT), according to the note.
Affected users will be able to back up their data from now until 7:59 am on August 23, 2026 (SGT) and restore it starting from 8:00 am on August 25, 2026 (SGT), according to the company.
Regarding why the data deletion only affects data generated since December 29, 2025, Manus said in the note that Meta acquired Manus on that date. Data generated by some users on or after the acquisition needs to be deleted to comply with regulatory requirements in certain jurisdictions.
In March 2025, the startup Butterfly Effect launched Manus. As the world's first general AI agent, Manus became an overnight sensation with a demo video, and access codes were, at one point, resold for tens of thousands of yuan. As a result, Manus was briefly seen by the industry as "the second DeepSeek." Just a few months later, however, Manus moved its headquarters to Singapore, significantly downsized its domestic team, retained only core technical staff, and ceased its services and operations in China.
In December last year, Meta announced the acquisition of Manus for approximately $2 billion, making it the third-largest acquisition in Meta's history.
In April, China's Office of the Working Mechanism for Security Review of Foreign Investment under the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) announced its decision to prohibit, in accordance with laws and regulations, the foreign acquisition of the Manus project and required the parties involved to revoke the transaction, according to the official website of the NDRC.
This decision reflects China's continued efforts to improve its foreign investment review system and regulate cross-border mergers and acquisitions in accordance with laws and regulations, Ma Jihua, a veteran industry analyst, told the Global Times in a previous interview.
Addressing a question that the office of the foreign investment security review working mechanism has formally issued a decision to prohibit foreign investment in the Manus acquisition project and has ordered the parties involved to revoke the acquisition deal, and that two Manus executives have reportedly been barred from leaving China, Lin Jian, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, told a press briefing on April 28 that " As a matter of principle, I would like to stress that the Chinese government conducts reviews of foreign investment and makes relevant decisions in accordance with laws and regulations."

　　8月22日，上海楼市“沪八条”落地后的首个周末，不少购房者好奇新政后市场到底有没有热起来。记者冒雨走访了嘉定区的三个在售新盘项目售楼处。或许是受降雨天气影响，其中两个新盘项目售楼处里客流稀疏，还有一个新盘项目人气旺盛，冷热反差比较明显。　　上午10时30分，嘉定新城某新盘项目售楼处内并没有预想中的看房客流，迎宾人员及销售人员端坐在各自的工位上，从进门处到沙盘区再到洽谈区，记者看到有2组到访的购房者。　　销售人员告诉记者，目前该项目已进入尾盘销售阶段，剩余可售房源仅20余套。

二 | “沪八条”落地时间尚短，市场还需要一定周期完成政策消化，因此新政对该项目的直接影响暂未显现，但应该会加快部分刚需客户购房的决策速度。　　在该销售人员看来，此次上海楼市新政是希望通过打通一二手房联动的流通链条，加速外环外新房的去化。从出台的政策来看，无论是优化公积金提取政策、调降外环外二套住房最低首付比例，还是配套购房补贴，都精准面向刚需群体，直接降低了购房者卖旧买新的置换门槛，将有效疏通住房置换的全流程。至于后续市场走向，该销售人员表示仍需观察接下来几个周末的实际到访量与成交数据，才能判断政策效应的持续释放力度。　　记者准备离开该售楼处时，特意向门口的迎宾人员询问了当日客户到访情况，对方反馈：整个上午到记者离开时大概有五六组客户前来看房。就在记者走出该售楼处时，看到一家三口正朝着售楼处入口走来，看样子是准备来看房。　　下午1时左右，记者来到位于嘉定区澄浏中路、嘉戬公路附近某新盘项目售楼处。跟着销售人员进入样板间的时候，记者看到一大家子人正在看房，上前询问才知道，这是祖孙三代全家出动，专程来给家里的第三代挑选婚房。

三 | 　　销售人员向记者介绍，项目整体规划有94平方米、103平方米、122平方米三种面积段户型，目前仅剩103平方米的主力户型在售。项目的购房群体主要分为两类：一类是嘉定本地的改善型家庭，尤其是在地铁沿线通勤的年轻刚需家庭；另一类是手握房票、有明确购房安置需求的本地动迁家庭。　　“上海楼市新政对我们项目的购房者带来三方面实质性利好：一是公积金的提取使用更加便利，过去五年才能提取一次，现在缩短为一年可提取一次，且可用于支付购房契税、购买车位等，资金使用效率显著提升；二是置换补贴，因项目位于外环外，符合‘以旧换新’及一年内卖旧买新相关政策，最高可获8万元补贴；三是购房门槛降低——外环外二套住房最低首付比例降至15%，按当前项目总价400万—500万元测算，最低首付约60万—75万元，同时房票安置政策启动以来，已有百余户拆迁家庭持房票前来选购本项目。”销售人员说。　　下午5时左右，记者在位于塔秀路上的某新盘项目售楼处里终于感受到了售楼处的“喧嚣”。据记者目测，当时在售楼处里的购房者有近30组。实际上该项目在大约一周之前刚刚开过盘，首开认购率超过400%，当时推出的115套房源开盘当日全部售罄。

四 | 　　销售人员告诉记者，该项目的客群热度始终处于高位，周末高峰时销售人员往往从早上9时便进入满负荷接待状态。

五 | 项目首批次开盘的认购客户中，嘉定本地改善型群体占绝对主力，由于触发了积分，有些积分不高的客户最终没能买到。而这些首批次未能买到的客户有一部分已经转筹至二批次房源。另外，随着上海最新购房补贴新政的落地，项目二批次的客群结构可能会出现一些变化，来自外环以内的外区客户占比可能会有所提升，政策红利对这类群体的购房决策起到了直接的助推作用。　　8月22日，位于上海青浦区徐泾板块的宝业虹桥国展里迎来第二批次房源开盘。此次推出的64套房源共获得173组客户认筹，认购率达270%。最终64套房源仅用了约50分钟就全部售罄。　　宝业上海公司营销总监徐晓栋告诉记者，项目定位纯改善产品，主力户型面积段为130平方米和153平方米，总价段主要集中在800万—1000万元之间。

六 | 新政确实提升了客户的购买信心和决策效率，客观上加快了销售节奏。　　上海中原地产市场分析师卢文曦向记者表示，此次上海楼市新政的导向性十分明确，核心就是助力外环外刚改项目加快去化，充分激活市场中积压已久的改善升级需求，从最近两天上海新房市场一线反馈来看，已有一部分项目的到访量出现回升，其关注到的浦东新区新场的一个项目，案场到访客户比平时多了约20%，说明政策对市场情绪的正向拉动作用还是非常明显的。伴随着传统楼市旺季“金九银十”的窗口临近，叠加本轮政策红利的持续释放，预计接下来的几周上海新房市场的整体热度有望保持稳步攀升的态势。（文章来源：上海证券报）。
