Chinese app maker Kuaishou has released Kling, an AI video generator that can produce stunning results comparable to OpenAI's Sora.
Sora isn't yet available to the public, but Kling is running a waiting list and has produced some amazing AI-generated videos from the service, though it's only available in China for now.
OpenAI's Sora is amazing.
But KWAI just released a Sora-like model called the KLING, and people are going crazy for it.
Here are 10 wild examples you won't want to miss.

Users can generate 1080p videos at 30 frames per second for up to two minutes, and the model employs a “3D spatiotemporal joint attention mechanism that can better model complex spatiotemporal motion, generate video content with larger motion, and comply with the laws of motion at the same time.”
Tom's Guide They point out that the Diffusion Transformer model can generate 3D faces and bodies that can help express facial expressions and movements.

Kuaishou, the company behind Kling, is already a major app company: Better known overseas as Kwai, it's TikTok's biggest rival in China, boasting around 400 million daily active users and making it the country's second-largest short-video app.
AI video is here
The AI video race is on, and OpenAI is actively promoting Sora and collaborating with artists to create music videos with cutting-edge technology.
Despite all the teasing, Sora still doesn't have a release date, which is widely believed to be due to safety concerns, especially given the proximity of the 2024 presidential election.
Then there's the issue of copyright: Of course, we don't know what training data was used to build Kling, but we also don't know what was used to build Sora.
OpenAI has repeatedly refused to discuss Sora's training data set in detail or reveal where OpenAI got it from. OpenAI has repeatedly insisted that it is “publicly available” data, and that it is also used for its AI image generator, DALL-E.
