Kuaishou reshuffles AI structure, centralizes internal agents and assigns Yue Yu to lead Kling AI

Kuaishou has reorganized its AI structure by creating a cross-business virtual unit called "Enterprise AI Productivity" to oversee internal AI office and R&D tools. The new group will unify the general-purpose agents used by employees, along with the company’s internal knowledge, data, office systems, and information systems, so agents can directly access those resources to complete tasks. The unit will be led by Wang Xu, head of the intelligent office platform department, and will consist of the intelligent office platform department and the AI productivity center. The company also disclosed internal adoption figures. As of June this year, more than 92% of employees were using Kuaishou’s self-developed AI agents, while AI-generated code accounted for 60% of contributions from R&D technical staff. Kuaishou also adjusted management responsibilities for Kling AI. Co-founder, chairman, and CEO Cheng Yixiao will concurrently serve as head of the community science line. Yue Yu, the previous head, has been reassigned as director and CEO of Kling AI and will focus on its operations and management. Kuaishou said Kling AI generated more than RMB 850 million in revenue in the second quarter of this year, up more than 200% year over year.

Kuaishou teases Kling 4.0 with 30-second native video generation, October launch set

Kuaishou has previewed Kling 4.0, with the full release and API both scheduled for October. Ahead of that launch, Kling 4.0 Flash has already been opened to Black Gold annual membership users for early access. The update raises the maximum length of a single native video generation to 30 seconds, up from the 15-second cap in Kling 3.0. The new version also expands control options. It supports up to 10 keyframes, allowing users to preset character states, scene transitions, and plot beats. Image, video, and subject inputs can be combined, with support for as many as 15 multimodal references in one generation. Editing tools have also been extended, letting users change people, backgrounds, weather, colors, materials, and camera shots in an existing video, or use another clip as a reference for camera movement, motion, and narrative pacing. Kling 4.0 adds dual-channel stereo and improves handling of complex camera movement, lip sync, and multilingual dialogue. Kuaishou said 4K and 1080p 10-bit HDR output are planned but not yet available. Multi-step continuation, which could extend a video to as long as two minutes, has also not gone live. The company has not disclosed pricing or speed figures for Kling 4.0 Flash.

The update points to a broader pattern in the technology sector, where companies separate their AI units in pursuit of higher valuations and greater independence in the market. The announcement ties a product launch to a capital-markets move, putting both the new model and the proposed listing into focus. No additional details on the offering timeline, deal size, or company structure were disclosed in the source brief.

AI Is No Longer Enough to Lift Big Tech Stocks

China’s major internet companies are all pushing AI, but the latest earnings season showed that AI alone is no longer enough to re-rate their shares. Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, Kuaishou and NetEase fell after reporting, while Xiaomi stood out as one of the few exceptions. The piece argues that the market is now asking a harder question: not whether these companies have AI, but what AI is actually changing in their businesses. Tencent is using AI on top of a powerful cash machine, with gaming and advertising still generating strong revenue and capital spending rising to 52.8 billion yuan in the second quarter. Alibaba is trying to rebuild part of its empire around AI, while also lifting quarterly capital spending to 67.7 billion yuan. Baidu has a growing AI business, but declining online marketing revenue keeps the old business under pressure. Kuaishou’s Kling AI brought in more than 850 million yuan in the second quarter, up more than 200%, yet that was not enough to offset slow group growth. Xiaomi is treating AI as a layer across phones, cars, home devices and robots, not as a standalone revenue line. NetEase is using AI in game development, but its core growth still comes from games.
