Keling AI
可灵
Kling AI (可灵) is Kuaishou's video-generation model and AI creative platform, which grew from an incubated project into the company's new growth engine within about a year — by February 2025 its related businesses had booked over RMB 100 million in cumulative revenue, with daily video generation exceeding 30 million clips and AIGC marketing spend around RMB 20–30 million per day . In the 2024–25 video-model race, 十字路口Crossing described Kling 1.6 and Google Veo-2 as the "undisputed twin kings," with Sora, Runway, Pika, and Luma trailing, and Kling opened an OpenAPI for B2B use in August 2024 while building a strong following among overseas creators . The product went global by nature — per Qiming Venture Partners, 80% of its web traffic comes from outside China — and in April 2025 it entered its "2.0 era" with upgraded foundation models (Kling 2.0 Master, Kolors 2.0) and new multimodal editing . More recently, per a Qiming piece from August 2026, Kling closed a financing round of nearly US$3 billion at a prospective post-money valuation of US$18 billion, with Qiming among its backers, and was grouped with ByteDance's Seedance and Google's Veo as the three leading players globally .

Why Are Half of Today's Large Model Builders Studying Physics?
From Hopfield and Hinton's Nobel Prize to Anthropic's CEO, xAI's pre-training lead, and He Kaiming's latest physical world model: the through-line of physics has persisted for four decades. This is no coincidence — it's a particular "taste" that happened to collide with the right era.

Shengshu Technology Diagnosed With Duck Leg Overdose
If you had to pick the most orthodox Tsinghua-affiliated AI startup, Shengshu Technology would be it: all three founders are from Tsinghua, all from the same research group, still physically on campus — essentially a university lab doing corporate tech transfer. Gripped by my own pathological worship of meritocracy, I dutifully tried their product Vidu, and came away thinking: folks, we've had one too many goose legs. Because looking at their model capabilities, product positioning, and marketing strategy, the student energy here is absolutely off the charts — it's completely maxed out.
