Kling AI

Kling AI (可灵) is Kuaishou's AI creative-productivity platform for video and image generation — arguably the most-watched piece of the company's AI push, and the one that gave its "AI as new business engine" bet real numbers. Within roughly a year of incubation it became a revenue line: cumulative business income passed RMB 100 million by February 2025, with daily video generation topping 30 million clips and Kuaishou's AIGC marketing material burn reaching tens of millions of yuan per day, per 十字路口Crossing's reporting . The model iterated fast through the video-generation arms race — 2.0 (with the new Kolors 2.0 image model and multimodal editing) arrived in April 2025, and by early 2026 Kling had rolled out 2.5 Turbo, O1 and 2.6, making synchronized audio-video generation a baseline capability; annualized revenue had already crossed US$100 million in its tenth month online . It also shipped an international version open to overseas users via email registration . In the global rankings churn alongside Veo, Sora and Seedance, 十字路口Crossing's read is that the top models now sit near the same capability waterline, swapping the lead every few weeks with narrowing gaps .
