With the introduction of the subscription program, the foundation model offers even more upgraded features. The latest round of upgrades significantly improves overall video quality. Videos generated by the upgraded model show improved composition and color tone, boasting better overall aesthetics. Motion performance has also been enhanced considerably, with greater movement range and accuracy.

Earlier iterations of Kling AI delivered capabilities such as image-to-video generation and video extension. At the recent World Artificial Intelligence Conference, Kling AI was officially launched on the web along with several new features, including extending the text-to-video generation duration to 10 seconds. With the latest upgrade, users can expect an even better overall AI video-generating experience.

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.

Majority of Arab youth say social media addiction is leading to decline in mental well-being: 15th annual ASDA’A BCW Arab Youth Survey

Leave a comment

DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — While the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has among the highest levels of per capita adoption of social media networks globally, a majority of Arab youth say they are struggling to disconnect, and that social media addiction is negatively impacting their mental health.

These are some of the key findings under the theme, ‘My Lifestyle,’ of the 15th annual ASDA’A BCW Arab Youth Survey, the most comprehensive study of its kind of the Arab world’s largest demographic, its over 200 million youth, conducted by ASDA’A BCW, MENA’s leading communications consultancy.

This year’s survey reveals that nearly three-fourths (74%) of young Arabs are struggling to disconnect from social media. Additionally, about two-thirds (61%) agreed that social media addiction negatively impacts their mental health. 

The findings of the survey were launched at a special event organised by blinx, the new digital media hub focused on youth in the Middle East, to mark the World Mental Health Day. Sunil John, President, MENA, BCW and Founder of ASDA’A BCW, and Nakhle Elhage, General Manager of blinx, discussed the findings.

Asked which social channels are most important to them, 18% said of the respondents said Facebook, followed by Instagram (17%), WhatsApp (16%), YouTube (13%), TikTok (12%), SnapChat (11%), X/Twitter (8%) and LinkedIn (4%).

But most Arab youth (92%) also said big tech companies such as Meta, Apple, Netflix and Google have ‘too much power’. Similarly, an overwhelming majority (92%) said social media companies need to do more to stop disinformation on their sites.

Despite their struggle to disconnect, many young Arabs are swayed by the prospect of fame via social media, reflecting their ‘soft career’ choices rather than pursue challenging jobs in technology, medicine or engineering.

Asked which field they would want to achieve fame, the highest percentage (13%) of Arab youth said they would rather be famous as ‘a social media influencer.’ The respondents had the option of naming multiple fields from over 30 options including careers in industry, education, business, healthcare, tourism, and others.

To be known as chefs, food critics or food bloggers was equally popular (12%) while 11% each said they would like to be known for their humanitarian work or for their contribution to technology.

Social media as top source of news

Nearly two-thirds (61%) of the respondents said they get their news from social media, but this is a significant drop from 2019 when almost 80% of young Arabs surveyed said they get their news from social channels. Television, however, continues to be the second most preferred source of news – named by nearly half of young Arabs (45%).

Television is the most trusted source of news for young Arabs – named by 89% followed by online news portals (79%) and print dailies (76%). Social media influencers are not as trusted with 42% saying they are ‘not trustworthy’.

Announcing the findings, Sunil John, said: “The overt dependence on social media appears to have left many young people living in a bubble, unaware of the socioeconomic realities. With the highest levels of youth unemployment in the world, it is important for the MENA region to channel the energies of these young men and women into vocational training and quality education for the jobs of the future.”

“In the face of intriguing revelations by the ASDA’A BCW Arab Youth Survey, blinx, with its focus on Gen Z and Millennials across the Middle East, finds these insights particularly enlightening,” said Nakhle Elhage. “As we learn more about Arab youth media consumption habits and preferences from the recent survey findings, we, at blinx, are committed to keeping it real and genuine, away from fake news, misinformation, and disinformation.”

ASDA’A BCW commissioned SixthFactor Consulting, a leading research company, to conduct the 15th edition of the Arab Youth Survey. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with 3,600 Arab citizens aged 18 to 24 in 53 cities across 18 Arab states, the largest sample in the survey’s history.
