Kimi Accused of Plagiarizing Designer's Work, Then Showcasing It as Official Featured Template

According to Sentinel Beating monitoring, independent designer Marina Budarina has accused Kimi of unauthorizedly rebranding her interactive webpage CHIMES as "SILK ATLAS" and featuring it in the Kimi Swarm's curated showcase.

She claims that Kimi directly copied the page design, interactive effects, and copywriting without crediting her. The original CHIMES site prominently displayed her name and even attributed some of the physics effects code.

Many netizens have expressed that when they previously saw this template, they thought Budarina had collaborated with Kimi. Some even mistakenly believed that this work was originally done using Kimi.

As of now, Kimi has not publicly responded.
