Kling, Runway에 도전하기 위해 $2B 조달 — HK IPO가 이 전쟁을 지원할 수 있을까
Kuaishou는 자사 AI 비디오 부문 Kling을 위해 $18b 밸류에이션으로 $2b를 조달했으며, 이는 미국 거대 기업들과 벌이는 생성형 비디오 시장의 치열한 경쟁을 시사합니다.
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.
