记者 Julia Fioretti 和 Pei Li 报道 据知情人士透露，快手科技旗下的Kling AI已选定银行，筹备香港首次公开募股（IPO），融资额至少10亿美元。
Technology’s Kling AI has picked banks for a Hong Kong initial public offering that could raise at least $1 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.
知情人士称，该人工智能视频服务正与中国国际金融股份有限公司（中金公司）、高盛集团和瑞银集团合作推进潜在股份发售，因信息保密，知情人士不愿具名。他们表示，Kling最快明年上市。
The artificial intelligence video service is working with China International Capital Corp., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and UBS Group AG on the potential share sale, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is confidential. Kling is targeting a listing as soon as next year, they said.
知情人士补充称，商讨仍在进行中，规模和时间等细节可能会有变化。高盛和瑞银代表拒绝置评。Kling和中金公司未回应置评请求。
Deliberations are ongoing and details such as size and timing may change, the people added. Representatives for Goldman Sachs and UBS declined to comment. Kling and CICC didn’t respond to requests for comment.
Kling成立于2024年，是中国生成式视频服务浪潮的一部分，这些服务正积极寻求商业化变现，并试图填补OpenAI关闭Sora后留下的空白。7月，Kling完成一轮融资，筹集28亿美元，投资方包括科技巨头阿里巴巴集团、腾讯控股和百度公司。此轮融资使Kling的投前估值约为150亿美元。
Founded in 2024, Kling is part of a wave of Chinese generative video services aggressively pursuing monetization and seeking to fill a void after OpenAI shuttered Sora. It raised $2.8 billion in a round in July from investors including tech giants Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd., as well as Baidu Inc. That valued Kling at about $15 billion pre-money.
据彭博新闻报道，Kling与字节跳动的Seedance以及生数科技和PixVerse等初创公司竞争，后两者也在筹划香港IPO。
Kling competes with ByteDance Ltd.’s Seedance and startups like Shengshu and PixVerse, which are both planning Hong Kong IPOs, Bloomberg News has reported.
尽管香港股市回落，但AI一直是香港交易复苏的前沿，推动股份发售量升至第三季度创纪录高位。快手股价也未能幸免，今年在香港市场市值缩水过半。
AI has been at the forefront of a Hong Kong deal revival that pushed share-sale volumes to a record third quarter, despite a retreat in the city’s stocks. Kuaishou shares haven’t escaped, shedding more than half of their value this year in Hong Kong.
