KimiBot
Kimi's training crawler. Moonshot says disallowing it signals your content shouldn't be used to train its foundation models.
What happens if you block it
Only opts you out of training. Moonshot doesn't say it affects Kimi search.
Our take
Block it if you don't want your content in Kimi's training data.
