KeLing Technology

KeLing Technology is the name given in the 2 November 2026 story; it is read here as the Chinese company behind Kling AI, Kuaishou's video-generation model (Beijing Kling, 北京可灵), whose Chinese name is Keling. It builds and operates Kling AI's text-to-video and image-to-video models and products.

In Kuaishou's Hong Kong Stock Exchange announcement of 2 July 2026, Beijing Kling is described as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Kuaishou, expected to hold the group's Kling AI assets and business after a restructuring. Initial investors agreed to inject RMB 13.824 billion in cash, with total proceeds capped at about RMB 20.4 billion (roughly US$3 billion). Media reports put the valuation at US$18 billion post-money, and Tencent was reported among the investors. A later announcement of 31 August 2026 said the National AI Fund would inject RMB 1.4 billion. A Hong Kong IPO for Kling AI has been reported as planned.

Kling AI launched as a beta in June 2024 and has gone through versions 1.6 (December 2024), 2.0 (April 2025), 3.0 (early 2026) and 4.0 (global launch, October 2026), according to Wikipedia. Kuaishou said Kling's revenue in Q1 2026 grew more than 300% year on year.
