Kuaishou Unveils Proprietary Video Generation Model ‘Kling;’ Testing Now Available

Leave a comment

BEIJING, June 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Kuaishou Technology (HKD Counter: 01024 / RMB Counter: 81024)(together with its subsidiaries and consolidated affiliated entities, hereinafter referred to as “Kuaishou”), a leading content community and social platform, recently launched its self-developed video generation model, the Kling Large Model (hereinafter referred to as “Kling” (可灵)). Kling is capable of generating complex spatiotemporal motions and simulating the characteristics of the physical world. Leveraging these capabilities, Kling transforms text prompts into high-quality AI videos that closely mimic the real world’s complex motion patterns and physical characteristics. Kling also possesses powerful conceptual combination and imagination abilities. Kling can generate videos up to two minutes long with a frame rate of 30fps and video resolution up to 1080p while supporting a variety of aspect ratios. 

Kling utilizes diffusion-based transformer architecture (DiT), enhanced with Kuaishou’s upgrades to the model’s latent space encoding/decoding and temporal modeling modules. In terms of latent space encoding/decoding, Kuaishou has self-developed a 3D VAE network, achieving synchronous spatiotemporal compression and obtaining a high reconstruction quality, striking an excellent balance between training performance and effectiveness. In terms of temporal modeling, Kuaishou designed a computationally efficient, full-attention mechanism as a spatiotemporal modeling module. This method integrates temporal and spatial information, enabling comprehensive analysis and processing of video data. It can accurately capture local spatial features within video frames and temporal dynamic features across frames for a more comprehensive understanding and reproduction of motion information in videos. As a result, Kling can accurately capture details from rapidly moving objects, drastic scene changes, complex human movements and more, empowering dynamic, highly realistic video content generation. 

Kling is currently available for beta testing within “KuaiYing” (快影), Kuaishou’s video editing application for users in China. Users may register and apply for a Kling trial through KuaiYing. For more information and a video demo, please visit Kling’s official website at http://kling.kuaishou.com/

As a global leader in the short video industry, Kuaishou has developed a comprehensive AI strategy to usher in the large AI model era.  Large AI models offer a rich array of application scenarios for Kuaishou, seamlessly integrating with Kuaishou’s content and commercial ecosystems. Kuaishou has already released “KwaiYii” (快意), a general large language model with 175 billion parameters, and “KeTu” (可图), a large model product for text-to-image generation, both of which have attracted widespread attention. Kling’s launch demonstrates Kuaishou’s commitment to accelerating the research, development and application of large models, aiming to provide creators and users with more diverse AI-powered creation and interactive experiences.

Saasyan Unveils Advanced Web Filter For K-12 Schools

Leave a comment

Supporting On-Premises, Off-Premises, BYOD and School Provided 1:1 Programs

SYDNEY, June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Saasyan, a leader in AI-powered online student safety, has today announced the launch of Assure Web Filter, available as an optional module to their cloud-based, online student safety solution, Saasyan Assure.

Developed specifically for K12 schools, the Assure Web Filter empowers schools with advanced web filtering, deep inspection and flexible controls, enabling them to support their students’ learning journey and to protect their students from harmful online content.

Enhancing Digital Safety in Schools with Advanced Web Filtering Solutions

The Saasyan Assure Web Filter is a comprehensive solution comprising two key modules:

  1. A Cloud-Managed Virtual Appliance, for supporting On-Premises and BYOD; and
  2. A Cloud-Managed On-Device Filter, for supporting Off-Premises and 1:1 Programs.

Featuring best-in class functionalities, including:

  • Granular Controls: Set and manage policies with precision, tailored by year, class, or individual student.
  • Time-Based Policies: Flexibly adjust access privileges based on time constraints.
  • Selective SSL Decryption: Ensure security while maintaining privacy with selective decryption capabilities.
  • AI-Prompt Inspections: Detect concerning language or prompts entered by users.
  • Video Controls: Manage and monitor video content access with ease.
  • Wellbeing and Safety Alerts: Receive timely alerts to address potential risks to student safety and wellbeing.
  • Comprehensive Reporting: Gain insights into usage patterns and potential risks with detailed reports categorised by year, class, student, and activity type.
  • Configurable Dashboards: Customise dashboards to align with your specific monitoring and reporting needs.
  • 12-Month Rolling Data Retention: Keep historical data accessible for informed investigation, decision-making and compliance purposes.

“As a principal committed to both educational excellence and the safety of our students, I have found the Assure Web Filter to be an invaluable asset in our school’s digital ecosystem.” said Mr Edward Demirdjian, Principal at Galstaun College, a Saasyan Assure Web Filter customer. “It seamlessly integrates with our existing infrastructure, ensuring that every student benefits from a safe and focused learning environment. The flexibility to tailor web access according to specific educational needs and safety standards, without compromising on ease of use or functionality, makes the Assure Web Filter an essential tool in modern educational settings. It’s reassuring to know that we are not only compliant with digital safety standards but are also at the forefront of preventative measures against online risks.”

Saasyan’s launch of the Assure Web Filter reflects a strategic response to two fundamental challenges shaping today’s educational landscape.

1.  Meeting the Challenges of School-Issued 1:1 Device Programs

As government and non-government schools increasingly adopt 1:1 device initiatives, they’re not just embracing a new educational paradigm but also grappling with amplified responsibilities beyond campus boundaries. The Assure Web Filter steps in as a proactive solution, ensuring that students’ off-premises digital interactions remain safe and conducive to learning.

“We’re excited to offer a powerful web filter that is quick to deploy, is simple to configure and which supports on-premises, off-premises, BYOD and 1:1 programs”, said Greg Margossian, Founder & CTO of Saasyan. “This is a significant step towards Saasyan’s vision of ensuring every student is safe online”.

2.  Commitment to Equitable Student Safety

As online learning proliferates, students from underprivileged and economically disadvantaged schools face heightened exposure to online risks. The Assure Web Filter provides a scalable and adaptable solution tailored to meet the unique safety requirements of any school, irrespective of its size or demographic. This approach not only enhances student protection but also ensures that every school can feasibly implement robust safety measures.

“All students of all socioeconomic status deserve to be safe and supported” said Sidney Minassian, CEO of Saasyan. “We’re thrilled to launch the Assure Web Filter, a feature rich, best-in-class solution, designed to be affordable and accessible by all schools.”

Unwavering Support for Integrations with Third-Party Firewalls and SASE Solutions

Saasyan remains dedicated to Assure’s existing integrations and interoperability with third-party next-generation firewalls and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions.

Offering the Assure Web Filter as an optional module, Saasyan provides schools with the flexibility and choice to opt for various supported third-party firewalls or SASE solutions that work seamlessly with the Assure Alerting and Reporting module.

By capturing real-time logs from supported third party firewalls and SASE solutions, Assure provides schools with sophisticated safety and wellbeing risk alerts, comprehensive reports and customisable dashboards.

The addition of Assure’s 3rd Party Firewall Controls module further augments the functionalities of supported firewalls, enabling granular web filter controls tailored for K-12 environments.

This module empowers teachers with delegated permissions and IT teams to implement on-the-fly, scheduled, or recurring rules. These rules can specifically allow or block access to particular web pages, categories, or applications for individual students, a class, or selected groups, enhancing focused learning and internet safety.

Today, Saasyan’s integration with third-party firewalls and SASE solutions protects over 400,000 students across 700 schools with an expanding footprint each year.

Intelligent Application of Cloud, Data and AI – powered by Amazon Web Service (AWS)

Saasyan leverages AWS’s secure and scalable services to meticulously analyse vast volumes of student online activity, encompassing web searches, website visits, videos, chat transcripts, emails, images, and documents. This robust infrastructure empowers schools to proactively address a spectrum of online safety and well-being concerns, from cyberbullying and self-harm to threats of violence, online grooming, and image-based abuse.

Saasyan is an AWS ISV Accelerate and AWS Public Sector Partner and was recognised for its innovation in K-12 Education at the AWS Australia and New Zealand Partner Summit 2023.

About Saasyan

MATRIX, Subsidiary of MetaReal Group, Launches AI-powered Contract Development Solution That Can Automatically Generate Digital Twins

Leave a comment

TOKYO, March 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — MATRIX Inc. (hereinafter “MATRIX”), a subsidiary of MetaReal Corp., both headquartered in Tokyo’s Chiyoda-ku, announced on March 27 that MATRIX will start providing an AI-powered contract development solution that can easily generate photorealistic digital twins (*1) from videos taken with smartphones through Gaussian Splatting (*2), a next-generation 3D spatial construction technology. It is intended for use in industries such as construction, engineering, real estate, and manufacturing.

Existing methods for constructing digital twins use a combination of 3D laser scanning and planar captured images, but the former has problems in terms of time and cost, and the latter has limitations in terms of perspective and field of view. Using the latest Gaussian Splatting technology to automatically generate realistic digital twins from video footage taken with just a smartphone — without any special equipment or effort — overcomes these hurdles.

MATRIX has developed and operates Metaverse space-sharing platform “DOKODEMO Door,” which features real 360-degree videos. Through the operation of this platform, the company has received various requests and inquiries about Metaverse development from corporate clients, and this AI technology envisions the following use cases as examples:

The Royal Thai Police, Supported By ACE, Shut Down Major Torrent Website

Leave a comment

Simultaneous raids take place in Bangkok, Surin Province and Surat Thani.

BANGKOK , Feb. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Royal Thai Police’s Economic Crimes Department (ECD), with support from the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE), has raided four locations in Bangkok, Surin Province and Surat Thani. Four Thai nationals have been taken into custody and are expected to be formally charged with copyright offenses in the coming days.

Siambit.me was the largest torrent tracker site in Thailand with average monthly visits of 5.5 million, and which provided access to a huge range of Hollywood, International and Thai content. The site had been in operation since 2005 and is known to regularly change its domain to avoid detection. According to statements by the Royal Thai Police, Siambit.me had over 100,000 VIP members and the operators were making an estimated 1.5 million baht (USD$41,000) on a monthly basis.

“We commend the ECD for their continued collaboration with ACE and for taking enforcement action against this large torrent site,” said Jan van Voorn, Executive Vice President and Chief of Global Content Protection for the Motion Picture Association and Head of ACE. “Illicit torrent sites put consumers around the world at risk of unwittingly downloading malware such as spyware, remote access trojans and even ransomware. The ECD’s action helps protect the livelihood of Thai and international creators and distributors, and it helps shield consumers from such malware.”

Suebsiri Taweepon, President of the Intellectual Property Association of Thailand (IPAT), said, “We would like to commend the professionalism of the ECD and ACE in taking down this large torrent tracker site. Piracy sites such as Siambit undermine local and international investment in our country’s content sector, reduce tax contributions to the government, and stifle creativity.”

Driven by a comprehensive approach to addressing piracy through criminal referrals, civil litigation and cease-and-desist operations, ACE has achieved many successful global enforcement actions against illegal streaming services and sources of unauthorized content and their operators.
