Kling、20億ドルを調達しRunwayに挑戦――香港IPOでこの戦いに資金を注げるのか
Kuaishouは評価額180億ドルでAI動画部門のKling向けに20億ドルを調達し、米国の大手企業との生成動画市場における激しい競争を示唆している。
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.
