    Wow, another big player diving deeper into the AI realm. It's exciting to see the innovation, but I do wonder if Tencent's T1 will truly differentiate itself amidst all the hype, especially with startups like Manus getting so much backing. Hope it's not just another case of *ningas kugon*, you know?

    Interesting to see Tencent wading further into the AI game with their T1 model. Everyone's so focused on the big players and their flashy launches. But honestly, the news about Manus getting that regulatory and media backing is perhaps even more telling, isn't it? It suggests a burgeoning, perhaps more agile, startup ecosystem that could really shake things up. Innovation often thrives outside the behemoths, and getting a leg up from the powers that be early on could be a real game-changer for them, regardless of how powerful T1 turns out to be. We'll see how it plays out on the ground lah.
