At today's Baidu AI Open Day event, Shen Dou, executive vice president of Baidu Group and president of Baidu Intelligent Cloud Business Group, pointed out that compared to the nationwide outbreak triggered by DeepSeek last Spring Festival, the spread of OpenClaw this year's Spring Festival was "a few days slower than we expected." "In fact, before last Spring Festival, we saw the momentum of OpenClaw outbreak, and did a lot of work internally at Baidu," Shen Dou analyzed, "You will find the difficulty of experiencing OpenClaw to be slightly higher, actually much higher than Chatbot."
