Kling AI Launches Video 2.6 Model with "Simultaneous Audio-Visual Generation" Capability, Redefining AI Video Creation Workflow

HONG KONG, Dec. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Kuaishou Technology ("Kuaishou" or the "Company"; HKD Counter Stock Code: 01024 / RMB Counter Stock Code: 81024), a leading content community and social platform, announced that on December 3, 2025, Kling AI released the Kling Video 2.6 Model. This update introduces a milestone capability for "simultaneous audio-visual generation," fundamentally transforming the traditional workflow of AI video production model of silent visuals followed by manual dubbing. By enabling the simultaneous generation of visuals, natural voiceovers, sound effects, and ambient atmosphere in a single pass, the model reconstructs the AI video creation workflow and significantly accelerates creative efficiency.

Redefining AI Video Creation Workflow with World-Leading Chinese Voice Generation

The Kling Video 2.6 Model upgrades two major capabilities: text-to-audio-visual and image-to-audio-visual generation. Whether inputting either text or combining images with prompts, users can directly generate videos complete with speech, sound effects, and ambient sounds. The model currently supports Chinese and English voice generation, creating video content up to 10 seconds in length.

This upgrade reshapes the traditional AI video creation workflow, which typically requires generating silent footage first and using separate software for post-production audio. With Kling Video 2.6 Model, creators can instantly generate fully integrated videos with voiceovers, sound effects, and ambient sounds, significantly enhancing creators' efficiency.

Leveraging deep semantic alignment between real-world sounds and dynamic visuals, the Kling Video 2.6 Model delivers exceptional performance in audio-visual synchronization, audio quality, and semantic understanding.

With audio-visual coordination at its core, the Kling Video 2.6 Model achieves tight coordination between voice rhythm, ambient sound, and visual motion. This deep alignment ensures that visual dynamics match audio rhythms, eliminating the disjointed "mismatched audio-video" experience often found in traditional workflows.

In terms of audio quality, beyond supporting a variety of sound types such as voice, sound effects, and ambient sounds, the model generates cleaner, richly layered audio quality. The overall auditory experience closely mirrors realistic audio mixing, meeting the rigorous standards for audio detail in professional-grade production.

Regarding semantic understanding, the model demonstrates robust comprehension of textual descriptions, colloquial expressions, and complex storylines across varied scenarios. It accurately captures creator intent to deliver logically coherent audio-visual content that precisely meets user requirements. Additionally, the Kling Video 2.6 Model maintains world-leading position in Chinese voice generation performance.

One-Click "Simultaneous Audio-Visual Generation" Drives Efficiency Revolution Across Diverse Creative Scenarios: Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, and E-Commerce

The Kling Video 2.6 Model supports the generation of standalone or combined audio types - including speech, dialogue, narration, singing, rap, ambient sound effects, and mixed sound effects. This versatility facilitates broad applications in video content creation across industries such as advertising, marketing, social media, and e-commerce, significantly enhancing creative efficiency. 

For example, in advertising and marketing, the Kling Video 2.6 Model enables one-click generation of short ads featuring narration, character dialogue, and product showcases with comprehensive sound effects. This significantly lowers advertising production costs while improving efficiency.

In social media, the Kling Video 2.6 Model offers extensive applications. Its multi-character dialogue capability allows creators to produce a variety of content, including interviews, scripted performances, and comedy skits. In addition, its music performance capabilities enable diverse creative expressions, including singing, rap, and instrumental performances. With the Kling Video 2.6 Model, creators can substantially reduce costs while streamlining workflows, making social media content creation easier and more budget-friendly.

In e-commerce, leveraging solo monologue and narration capabilities, the Kling Video 2.6 Model effectively automates the creation of videos for e-commerce product showcases highlighting key selling points, helping merchants improve operating efficiency.

The launch of the Kling Video 2.6 Model further reduces the costs and complexities of video production within the content creation industries. Moving forward, Kling AI remains committed to developing practical capabilities, empowering creators with superior, easy-to-use AI video creation tools that deliver higher performance.

全球機器人政策轉向下的產業機遇:首程控股的生態構建與價值重估

香港2025年12月4日 /美通社/ -- 在全球人工智能發展從模型競爭轉向應用深化的關鍵時刻,機器人產業作為AI走向真實世界的關鍵載體,正迎來前所未有的政策聚焦與歷史性發展機遇。美國、歐洲、日本、韓國等主要經濟體紛紛將政策重心向機器人產業傾斜,視其為未來製造業、國防體系與社會服務的基礎設施。在這一全球性產業浪潮中,首程控股(697.HK)憑藉其獨特的投資+應用雙引擎模式與平台化生態構建能力,正成為中國機器人產業鏈中一支不可忽視的新興力量。

全球政策東風:機器人產業進入加速落地期

當前,全球科技政策呈現出由泛人工智能向機器人領域聚焦的清晰轉向。這一趨勢標誌着機器人產業正從技術突破期邁向政策扶持與商業落地期的關鍵拐點。

據悉,隔夜美國白宮正在醖釀頒佈機器人產業專項行政命令,並計劃在年底前成立跨部門機器人工作組。此舉意味着機器人很可能繼人工智能之後,成為美國下一個國家級科技戰略工程。歷史表明,美國僅在戰略性基礎設施領域才會動用行政命令級別的推動力,這無疑將機器人產業提升至國家戰略高度。

多國加速戰略佈局:日本將機器人視為解決人口老齡化與勞動力短缺的核心方案;韓國明確提出在2030年前躋身全球機器人強國前三的目標;歐盟啓動了多項具身智能前沿研究項目;而中東與東南亞地區則將機器人納入智慧城市與產業升級的核心規劃。這種全球性的政策共振,共同加速了機器人從實驗室技術國家基礎設施的演進節奏。

在這一政策、技術、商業三重動力同步成熟的節點,產業競爭的核心已轉變為:誰能夠率先在投資佈局、應用落地與產業協同組織上建立穿透力,誰就更可能主導下一代智能科技產業的發展。

作為熱門港股市場機器人概念股公司之一的首程控股在機器人領域模式最獨特之處在於形成了投資-應用的強閉環。公司不僅是資金的提供者,更是產業資源的組織者。它通過推動被投企業的產品在真實場景中進行二次開發、運營驗證,解決了初創企業技術落地難的核心痛點。這種將前沿技術從實驗室直接導向電力巡檢等高確定性B端場景的能力,構成了首程難以複製的產業穿透力,也為自身帶來了穩定的現金流與深遠的產業影響力。目前,公司的投資版圖覆蓋了機器人本體、關鍵零部件、動力系統、算法及具身智能等核心領域。其投資的企業包括宇樹科技、雲深處、銀河通用、星海圖、松延動力等,幾乎貫穿了中國機器人產業從底層技術到上層應用的關鍵鏈路。這種佈局確保了公司在未來具身智能產業爆發時,能全面把握各環節的高增長紅利。

雙端落地引擎:夯實B端基礎,開創C端入口

首程控股的商業化路徑清晰分為To B(企業端)與To C(消費者端)兩大陣地,二者相互支撐,共同構建增長飛輪。

首先,在To B端實現深度場景融合,驗證商業化價值。在B端,首程聚焦於機器人商業化確定性最高的領域。通過將生態內企業的產品導入電力巡檢等剛性需求場景,不僅完成了技術可行性與可靠性的實證,更在此過程中積累了寶貴的場景數據與工程經驗,反哺產品迭代,為未來的規模化複製奠定了堅實基礎。

其次,在To C端構建全國性消費觸達網絡,針對中國消費級機器人市場存在的認知缺口體驗缺口,首程控股開創性地打造了線上線下融合的消費觸達體系,包括建立線下體驗店。公司打造的機器人科技體驗店(目標一年內拓展至20家)已在北京、成都等地成功落地。這些門店集展示、體驗、銷售於一體,被譽為機器人行業的4S店。國慶期間單店日銷售額突破十萬元、日客流過萬的業績,證明了將機器人從看不見、摸不着的科技概念轉化為可試、可玩、可買的消費品的巨大潛力。這是推動中國機器人消費化最關鍵的一步。此外,公司正在密集籌備的機器人專屬直播間,將承擔產品展示、科普教育、銷售轉化與用户數據沉澱等多重功能。當線上直播引流線下體驗轉化相結合,首程有望成為中國機器人面向大眾消費市場的最強入口。

首程控股的戰略並非簡單的投資加銷售,其本質是構建了一個能夠推動行業技術與需求雙向增長的平台型生態系統。這一系統形成了一個強大的自我強化增長飛輪:投資佈局 → B端落地驗證 → C端市場教育 → 數據反哺企業 → 估值與收益提升 → 再投資深化佈局。在這個飛輪中,前期投資奠定了產業根基,B端應用驗證了商業價值併為技術優化提供真實反饋,C端網絡則加速了市場教育並開闢了廣闊的營收渠道,最終的數據與資本收益又反哺於新一輪、更深度的產業佈局。

隨着全球進入機器人優先的新時代,機器人產業有望如新能源汽車、智能手機一樣,開啓一個長達數年的規模化增長週期。首程控股憑藉其全鏈條的投資佈局、深度的B端場景穿透、創新的C端消費入口以及獨特的平台型組織能力,已初步構建起國內最具產業穿透力的機器人生態之一。這不僅使其能夠充分受益於行業貝塔性的增長,更賦予了其通過生態協同創造阿爾法價值的潛力。在時代窗口已然打開的背景下,首程控股正成為一個值得密切關注、並可能在未來數年實現價值重估的產業龍頭標的。

ZTE CDO Cui Li speaks at Economist Impact's AI Innovation Asia 2025

SINGAPORE, Dec. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leading provider of integrated information and communication technology solutions, announced that its Chief Development Officer, Cui Li, spoke at AI Innovation Asia 2025, hosted by Economist Impact, the thought-leadership arm of The Economist Group.

On the panel "How May AI Help You? Agentic AI and the Customer Experience", Cui Li shared ZTE's strategic vision for agentic AI and illustrated how it is already reshaping customer experience and operational models across the company. She also underscored its role in strengthening resilience, enhancing oversight and accountability, and urged organizations to prepare now for the era of agentic AI.

Q1: Setting the scene – How is agentic AI impacting customer experience in your sector?

Agentic AI is redefining the user experience—not only about UI design, but from response to understanding and co-creation. For ZTE, under our "AI for All" strategy, we are integrating agentic AI into four key areas: networks, computing, homes, and personal devices.

For example, we enable level 4 and beyond autonomous networks with three engines—Nebula Telecom Large Model, big data, and digital twin. In real practice, ZTE and China Mobile co-created multi-agents that can detect network problems and enable self-healing, cutting troubleshooting time by 47%.

Q2: Strategic transformation – How will increasing digital autonomy through agentic AI reshape how organizations build resilience and adaptability?

Actually, we're in a highly uncertain era now. This requires us to start with the end in mind, namely, always seek stability from uncertainty and build a strong moat like the snowball effect. Also we must stay agile to spot changes and pivot on a dime, evolving from a machine-like organization into an organic, adaptive one.

And then we need to know how AI can truly help us. Large AI models are already performing at or beyond PhD level. While agents take a step further by integrating memory and tools, acting as the real-world application of models. And agentic AI can coordinate different agents to automate more complex, time-consuming tasks. Of course, this is an ideal status. The truth is, whether agents or agentic AI, they are still at a very early stage, and face many technical challenges. But given the hypergrowth of AI, I believe that solutions will be right in place very soon.

And then I believe AI can exert effects only when we stick with it to the long haul. Intelligence is built on digital and network foundations. Without digital transformation, a company will not truly achieve intelligence, not to mention becoming more resilient or adaptable—it's just like trying to run before you can walk. Also, going intelligent requires knowledge engineering, process restructuring, and an AI mindset, which is a marathon, not a sprint.

At ZTE, our digital journey started in 2016, and then intelligent transformation in 2022. Here is our experience: infrastructure first, but keep a balance between hardware and software; carry out systematic planning from the top down, to ensure everyone is on the same page; make continuous investment, as disruptive breakthroughs come from every small step; and finally, start from high-value and concrete scenarios, then iterate fast to address any uncertainties along the way.

Q3: Oversight & accountability – As AI systems make more decisions autonomously, how can companies maintain oversight, ensure accountability, and preserve digital sovereignty? 

In a nutshell, to keep humans in the loop. Tasks like design, review, decision-making, and supervision—they still need to be done by people, who should remain ultimately accountable. Automation is just a means, not an end. What humans should really worry about is not being replaced—it's stepping back or being absent in this process.

Every coin has two sides, so do these models. Their generalization, emergent abilities, and continuous evolution—yes, these are the features of a truly game-changing tech. But they inherently come with hallucinations, black-box problems, and so on. In addition, human has social intelligence and morality, something that AI can never truly master. So essentially, AI is built on statistical models—it lacks common sense in the real world, let alone navigating complex trade-offs like humans do.

More importantly, rolling out AI in a business needs the deep integration with know-how. We have to consider factors like accuracy, security, compliance, and division of responsibility, and take into account both workflows and KPIs. From ZTE's hands-on experience, I'd like to give some tips: First, companies should develop their own knowledge engineering projects and domain-specific large models—plus RAG and digital twins to be professional and reliable. Second, identify the concrete problems that agents need to solve. A one-size-fits-all agent often ends up doing nothing well. Third, know when to use agents or workflows. Agents are better at handling complex tasks with variable execution paths, while workflows are more accurate and efficient in highly predictable scenarios. Last, enable end-edge-cloud collaboration to ensure both cost efficiency and security. While among all these key parts, humans are still the ones steering AI in the right direction and creating real value.

Q4: Looking ahead – How do you see agentic AI evolving from task-based automation to integrated business partners, and what immediate actions should organisations take to future-proof themselves for agentic AI?

From a tech perspective, we can think of agents or agentic AI as proactive digital workers. Beyond simple or repetitive tasks, they can connect entire workflows, realize cognitive automation, and even self-evolve. Agents now work well in scenarios that are well-structured, info-heavy, fault-tolerant, and have clear feedback loops. But they often get stuck in the lab when the real-world environments become more complex or risky. So like I said, agents and agentic AI are still early. In the next year or two, they will mainly focus on vertical industries. After that, they will take on complex tasks with greater autonomy, getting more generalized, adaptive, and able to learn and evolve. Agents now are developing very fast. Gemini 3, which was just launched last month, sets a new bar for AI models with SOTA reasoning, multimodal understanding, and agentic capabilities.

For organizations, I think embracing AI is the only way to go. Deploying AI isn't just about connecting to APIs—it's reshaping processes, structures, teams. Companies need to first make mid- and long-term plans, and be adaptable enough to keep up with tech and market changes. Next, start from high-value, business-specific scenarios, and then iterate fast. That's how we can truly master AI. Also, it is reshaping our talent strategy. In the future, three types of talent will matter most: AI experts, who drive this technology forward; AI power users, who foster innovation and enhance efficiency; and people who go beyond AI with high-order thinking and a healthy mindset. Finally, to give AI full play, companies should restructure themselves and plan for a future of "human-AI symbiosis".
