Over Half of Baidu Employees Use OpenClaw; Company Says Budget Is Not an Issue

Recently, Baidu executives revealed in an internal discussion that over half of the company's employees have started using the AI tool OpenClaw (internally nicknamed "lobster"). This data reflects the rapid increase in Baidu employees' acceptance of AI tools.

The company stated that relevant investments will not be limited by budget; the key lies in employees actively internalizing AI capabilities. Once the direction is further clarified, Baidu will carry out overall planning and resource focus to promote the evolution of OpenClaw from "small shrimp" to "big shrimp" and provide necessary organizational support.
