Baidu (BIDU) launched "Operator," the world's first mobile "lobster" app. This tool enables mobile access to the OpenClaw agent platform.
An event at Baidu’s Beijing technology park attracted nearly 1,000 users. Attendees queued for on-site installation and engineering assistance. OpenClaw’s founder praised the speed of Chinese AI innovation.
Morgan Stanley reiterated its "Equal-Weight" rating on Baidu the same day. Analysts identified the Kunlunxin AI chip business as a positive factor. The firm also noted a potential higher AI disruption risk to the core search business.
