This swarm-based architecture marks a shift away from the traditional deep research model used by OpenAI and others, instead opting for horizontal scalability that accelerates large-scale tasks. It\u2019s a new take on how AI can multitask efficiently.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8245\" src=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/z2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/z2-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/z2-1-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/z2-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/z2-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Each Manus agent operates within its own virtual machine, giving users access to massive computing power in a seamless conversational interface. Tasks like product comparisons, data analysis, and design generation are now handled by independent, collaborating subagents. With no fixed roles, each agent adapts flexibly to different sub-tasks, improving throughput for complex operations without requiring manual coordination or scripting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8246\" src=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/z3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/z3-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/z3-1-600x360.jpg 600w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/z3-1-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/z3-1-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Currently reserved for Pro-tier subscribers at $199 per month, Wide Research will gradually roll out to more affordable plans. Early users can request summaries, datasets, or visuals from multiple perspectives, and receive results packaged in files or tables. It\u2019s a clear attempt to democratize high-performance computing, putting industrial-grade tools in the hands of regular users with simple prompts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8247\" src=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/z4-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/z4-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/z4-2-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/z4-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/z4-2-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Still, there are concerns about reliability, hallucinations, and data privacy. Manus, which shifted operations to Singapore, has ties to Chinese tech firms that raise questions about jurisdiction and control. Critics also point out the lack of independent benchmarks proving that parallel swarms outperform deep-agent models in accuracy or insight. Despite this, the launch signals a bold step in AI design philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8029\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8029\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8029\" src=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ben-footer-jul2024.jpg\" alt=\"B\u00e9n\u00e9dicte Lin \u2013 Brussels, Paris, London, Beijing, Seoul, Bangkok, Tokyo, New York, Taipei, Hong Kong\" width=\"1000\" height=\"379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ben-footer-jul2024.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ben-footer-jul2024-600x227.jpg 600w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ben-footer-jul2024-300x114.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ben-footer-jul2024-768x291.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8029\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">B\u00e9n\u00e9dicte Lin \u2013 Brussels, Paris, London, Beijing, Seoul, Bangkok, Tokyo, New York, Taipei, Hong Kong<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>#AI #Manus #WideResearch #MultiAgentAI #ArtificialIntelligence #TechNews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time : <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Manus AI launches Wide Research, letting users command 100 agents in parallel.
