On the night of January 31, Moonshot AI, a unicorn large model company in China, publicly called out Baidu through its official Weibo account "Kimi Intelligent Assistant," pointing out serious misleading information in Baidu's search results.
Moonshot AI stated in the blog post: "Can someone help @ Baidu colleagues? I just tried, and none of the first four websites with 'Kimi' are Kimi." The company later added in the comment section that many websites in the search results have titles with "Kimi official site," which can easily mislead users. According to the image provided by the official, when users searched for related keywords on Baidu, the top results were not official links but third-party ads recommended by Baidu.
Event Progress and Current Status:
Quick Response: As the public opinion escalated, Baidu quickly took optimization measures.
Current Recovery: Currently, when searching for the keyword "Kimi official site" on Baidu, the first search result has been corrected to the official website.
Weibo Deletion: Moonshot AI later posted to confirm that "it has been restored," but as of midday on February 1, the official had deleted the two related Weibo posts about the call for help and the recovery.
At present, neither party has made further official statements regarding this matter.
