Kling融資20億美元挑戰Runway——香港IPO能否資助這場戰爭
快手為其ai視頻部門kling籌集了20億美元資金，估值達180億美元，標誌著生成式視頻市場與美國巨頭之間的激烈競爭。
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.
