Kling融资20亿美元挑战Runway——香港IPO能否资助这场战争
快手为其ai视频部门kling筹集了20亿美元资金，估值达180亿美元，标志着生成式视频市场与美国巨头之间的激烈竞争。
kuaishou secured $2.04b in funding for kling, its ai video division, led by investors including tencent and citic securities, with the total potentially rising to $3b. the round values kling at $18b and reduces kuaishou's stake to roughly 68% ahead of a planned hong kong stock exchange listing. this capital injection intensifies the competition between chinese and us labs, as kling's new 3.0 model challenges runway's gen-4.5 and google's veo. the funding reflects a broader trend of chinese ai firms, like minimax and zhipu, seeking public listings to secure resources for the escalating ai infrastructure war.
