Four months is a long time in 2020’s AI development. OpenAI debuted Sora in February this year but hasn’t publicly released it. Now a Chinese company called Kuaishou has got ahead of them with a model it calls Kling. Kuaishou is TikTok’s biggest competitor in China and has a video-sharing app used by 200 million people. Presumably, that is where all its training data came from. Unlike OpenAI, Kling is [available to some of the public](https://twitter.com/JunieLauX/status/1799410235272303047).
This tech still doesn’t look ready to level the TV and movie industry. It does 5-second clips, but who wants a 90-minute movie made up of nothing but 5-second clips? The company says it can also do clips up to 2 minutes long, though we don’t know good they are or how soon that will be widely available.
