Manus Returns to China: Tencent's Calculations vs. Meta's Hidden Moves

However, if you dig deeper into the transaction structure, certain technology licenses or priority buyback clauses retained by Meta could allow them to continue sharing in Manus's future growth dividends. This might be the underlying logic behind the judgment that "Meta is still the biggest beneficiary."

Has this been clinically validated? In the $4.5 billion enterprise-grade Agent platform market, how much has actually closed the loop? Has Manus's general scheduling capability been tested in medical scenarios? We've tried a few off-the-shelf products in our hospital, and integration with the PACS system got stuck on data compliance.
