Kuaishou Technology acquires Kling.ai，Highlighting the Growing Trend of .ai Domains in the AI Industry

AI companies increasingly prefer .ai domains

Recently, Whois information revealed that the domain Kling.ai is registered under the email address email@kuaishou.com, suggesting that it may have been acquired by Kuaishou. Currently, Kling.ai’s official website is Klingai.com, but Kuaishou has not acquired Kling.com. This move further reinforces the growing preference of AI companies for .ai domains.

Why AI Companies Are Choosing .ai Domains

With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, more AI companies are opting for .ai domains instead of traditional .com domains. The primary reason is that .ai has a strong industry-specific identity, making it an intuitive choice for AI-related businesses. Some companies have even forgone acquiring .com domains in favor of using .ai as their primary brand domain.

Here are some well-known AI companies that use .ai domains:

• Stability AI – Official website: Stability.ai

• Anthropic – Official website: Claude.ai (for its AI product)

• Character AI – Official website: Character.ai

• Perplexity AI – Official website: Perplexity.ai

The adoption of .ai domains by these companies indicates that .ai is becoming the preferred choice for AI brands, especially in terms of brand identity and market recognition.

KlingAI: Kuaishou’s Breakthrough in AI Video Generation

KlingAI is a self-developed AI model by Kuaishou’s AI team, leveraging years of expertise in video technology. It follows a similar technical approach to OpenAI’s Sora, incorporating proprietary innovations to match Sora’s performance and focusing on high-quality AI-generated videos.

Key Features of KlingAI

• High-Resolution Output: Generates 1080p HD videos with rich details and smooth visuals.

• Extended Video Duration: Produces videos up to 2 minutes long at 30fps, surpassing most current AI video generation models.

• Flexible Aspect Ratio: Supports various video aspect ratios, including horizontal, vertical, and square formats, catering to diverse content creation needs.

As OpenAI’s Sora has gained attention for its realistic physics effects and narrative capabilities, the launch of KlingAI marks a significant step forward for China’s AI video generation technology.

Future of KlingAI

With its deep expertise in short videos and AI, Kuaishou is well-positioned to make KlingAI a key player in the AIGC (AI-Generated Content) sector, providing creators with powerful AI video production tools.

As AI video generation technology continues to evolve, whether KlingAI can secure a competitive position in the global AI landscape remains to be seen. Currently, the Kling.ai domain has not been activated.
