If you would like to cancel your request, you can press the power key. We will now enter the Q&A session. The first question is from Lincoln Feng from Kaohsiung. The first question comes from Lincoln Kong from Goldman Sachs.
Please go ahead and ask your question. Thank you for accepting my question, Mr. Wang. Congratulations on the success of the document in the fourth quarter. My question is about KeLin AI. Recently, we have seen that the updates of various video production models have an acceleration trend, including the release of C-DANCE 2.0 recently. Thank you, management, for taking my question and congrats on the solid fourth quarter result. My question is about clean AI. So we have seen an accelerating pace for various video generation technologies models across the industry, including CDANCE 2.0, launching recently. So what's the impact for the overall industry and to clean itself? And for 2026, what are the strategy or plans for cleaning in terms of our model capability, product upgrade, as well as monetization?
Thank you. are open-minded in terms of input and output. The choice of technology and product is relatively high. There is also a lot of room for innovation. However, we still believe that video production is far from mature in terms of technology and product. Many participants can work together to improve the industry and better meet the needs of users. Recently, the 2.0 and other video model updates have had a positive impact on the industry. At the same time as reducing the normal user creation threshold, we have improved the penetration rate of AI video production in more application scenarios, making the industry cake bigger. CDONES 2.0 supports multi-mode input technical guidelines, which is consistent with the OOI model launched in December last year. It also confirms the simplicity of the model replacement around multi-mode. KOLIN's model and product capabilities are still at the top of the world. Thank you for the question.
As we mentioned before, large video generation models are highly complex Both the input and output modalities are open-ended, which allows for considerable flexibility in technical pathways and product strategies, leaving significant room for innovation. At this stage, we believe video generation technologies and products are still far from maturity, but expansion from diverse players in the ecosystem can help accelerate industry advancement and better meet user needs. Recent accelerated updates to large video generation models, including CDAMS 2.0 and others, have brought positive momentum to the industry. While lowering the threshold for everyday users to create content, they also have increased the penetration of AI video generation across a wider range of application scenarios, effectively expanding the overall market CDANCE 2.0 adopts a multimodal input architecture which aligns with the CLING-01 model we released in December last year. Underscoring our visionary early positioning in modal iterations centered on multimodal capabilities, CLING-AI continues to maintain globally leading position in both modal and product capabilities. CLING-AI was ranked among the top video generation models by artificialanalysis.ai with exceptional benchmark scores. Regarding characteristic consistency and controllability, physical realism, and stability in complex scenarios, the Cling AI 3.0 model series demonstrates stronger performance, reinforcing Cling AI's differentiated advantages among professional creators and enterprise clients.
In recent years, Kling AI has been involved in many virtual scenes and special effects production. While ensuring high-quality output of commercial and film content, it has greatly reduced the cost of film production. This collaboration has verified the commercial value of Kling AI in top film production. It also shows that we are focused on the right direction of film production scenes. And from the income trend, Kling has maintained a very good month-to-month growth trend this year. The AIR of January this year also exceeded $300 million. We are very confident that Kling's income will achieve more than 100% of the same growth this year.
Kling AI played a key role in the production of virtual scenes and visual effects in the recent heat drama, Swords Into Plowshares, produced by film and TV. It delivered high quality and commercial grade content while significantly reducing production costs. The partnership is the primary example of Cling AI's commercial value in top-tier film and television production. It validates our focus on film and television production scenarios as the right strategic direction. In terms of revenue, Cling AI maintains a strong month-over-month growth throughout the year, reaching an annualized revenue run rate, or ARR, of over 300 million U.S. dollars in January. Based on what we are seeing now, we are confident that Klinge's revenue in 2026 will more than double.
关于Klinge的模型迭代, 过去一年,我们始终围绕统一原生多模态的方向演进。 我们在Klinge 2.0发布时首次提出多模态视觉语言, The concept of MVL is to express creativity through the combination of multi-modal information. In addition to the limit of pure text-to-text interaction, in December 2025, we launched the CLIN O1 model. We deepened the interaction structure of MVL applications, and realized the input of text, image, video, and other multi-modal videos. At the same time, we launched the CLIN 2.6 model, and realized the multi-modal output function of audio and video communication capabilities. In February this year, we launched the 3.0 model based on the all-in-one concept. In one model, we realized the input and output of multi-models. Next, we will consider expanding the number of models in the model to further improve the credibility of video production, such as the mode of action and expression. We will also work hard to solve the setting and consistency problems of complex scenarios. At the same time, at the product level, we will also steadily promote Agilent's ability to realize a full-circuit creation based on user needs to complete the synchronization and control of scene arrangement roles and scenes, as well as the automatic function of lighting and movement design.
Regarding Cling AI's model iteration, over the past year, we have consistently evolved in the unified native multimodal path When we launched Cling AI 2.0, we introduced the concept of multi-modal visual language, or MBL, which enables creative expression by combining multiple modalities and addresses the limitations of pure text interactions. With the release of the Cling 101 large model in December 2025, we advanced the MBL interaction architecture even more, enabling multi-modal inputs across text Around the same time, we launched our Cling 2.6 model for simultaneous audio and visual generation, multimodal output capabilities. In February this year, we launched the Cling AI 3.0 model series, developed under an all-in-one product framework. This series supports full multimodal input and output within a single model. Looking ahead, we plan to expand the modalities in our models to further enhance controllability and video generation, including modalities for motion and facial expressions. We will also focus on addressing the configuration and consistency challenges of complex scenarios. Meanwhile, on the product front, we will keep advancing our AI agent capabilities to enable fully automated end-to-end content creation. The goal is to empower our models to automatically plan storyboards based on user needs, ensure consistency across characters and scenarios, and simultaneously generate well-aligned audio and visuals, design lighting, visual tone, and camera movement.
总之,可灵AI将继续秉持, 让每个人都能用AI讲出好故事的愿景, 不断打磨模型和产品能力, 持续保持可灵在技术和产品商业化编写上的全球领先地位。
Overall, Cling AI remains committed to its vision of empowering everyone to craft capital-advanced stories with AI. We will continuously refine our model and product capabilities, sustaining Cling AI's global leadership in technology, product, and commercial monetization. Thank you.
Thank you, Aubrey. Your next question, please.
Shout-out to JB Morgan and Daniel Chen. The next question comes from Daniel Chen of JP Morgan. Please go ahead, Chen Tiwen.
So my question is related to the AI investment strategy. So besides the Multi-model and the video generation area which related to clean AI. What are the other segments that management thinks are worth more investment in the future? Thanks.
关于AI领域的投入方向,除了多模态视频生成领域, 我们还将在内容和商业生态场景的大模型研发应用进行持续投入, 例如生成式推荐大模型和多模态理解大模型等。 Thank you for your question.
Regarding the direction of our AI investments, beyond the multi-model video generation domains, we will continue to invest in the research and development and application of large models across our content, and commercial ecosystem scenarios, such as large generative recommendation models and large multi-model understanding models.
In the past few weeks, we have seen the promotion of large-scale models. We will also continue to explore in this direction. For example, in the online marketing recommendation system, we explore the deeper combination of the production model and the recycling system, from the optimization of the single request to the long-term value modeling. In terms of model capability, by combining LIM with more logical reasoning and world knowledge, we can break the data cycle problem in the traditional recommendation system. At the same time, we are building a set of new generation of recommended large-model recycling architecture that can be deployed in the new generation of native high-frequency.
In terms of the large generative recommendation models, over the past few quarters, we have seen significant potential for generative models in recommendation scenarios, and we will continue to explore this direction. In our online marketing recommendation system, we are exploring deeper integrations between generative models and our ranking architecture, shifting from single request optimization to long-term value modeling. In terms of model capabilities, by leveraging LLMs to introduce stronger logic, reasoning, inference, and broader world knowledge, we are attempting to break the data feedback loop problem found in traditional recognition systems. Concurrently, we are building a native, highly concurrent, and scalable next-generation ranking architecture for large recognition models. Through system design and foundational engineering upgrades, we aim to ensure that the expansion of computing power and parameter scale translate into performance improvement.
In terms of multi-modal analysis of large models, our self-proclaimed multi-modal machine-based large model can be used to quickly understand the content of the secondary power supply. In the core short screen and live broadcast scene, the large model is used for video analysis and user behavior reasoning to effectively trigger the improvement of the user market and standard indicators. In the future, we will promote AI capabilities to upgrade from single-way passive questions to long-term understanding and complex task processing, and further expand to core revenue scenarios such as online sales services and e-commerce. The development of multi-mode user-friendly smart assistants will drive greater commercial value.
In the direction of large multi-modal understanding models, our proprietary multi-modal foundational large-language QI empowers QI to its content understanding infrastructure. In core short video and live stream scenarios, QI performs video parsing and user behavior inference. effectively driving improvements in the user time span and retention metrics. Moving forward, we'll upgrade our AI capabilities from one-way passive Q&A to long-term contextual understanding and complex task processing, further expand the application to core monetization scenarios such as online marketing services and e-commerce, and develop practical intelligence assistance with multimodal interaction capabilities to drive greater commercial value.
This year, we will also explore the ability of agents in applications in other business scenarios. For example, in online marketing business scenarios, we will create multiple automated AI agents for e-commerce merchants, covering smart products, creative editing, and AI material production, smart bid and dynamic pricing, AI customer assistance, and all processes such as data analysis after bidding, to reduce the threshold of customer bid. to improve investment efficiency and cost stability. In addition, we will also explore sales agents in the search industry, to help customers improve the conversion efficiency of the search engine, and to reduce the cost of purchase. In the e-commerce scene, we will improve the search experience of users through the construction of search agents, and improve the search frequency of users. We will also explore the automatic calculation optimization of agents,
In 2026, we will also explore the application of AI agent capabilities across other various business scenarios. For example, in online marketing scenarios, we are developing an AI agent that delivers automated marketing placement for our e-commerce merchants. This covers the entire workflow from intelligent product selection, creative editing, and AI-generated materials, smart bidding, and dynamic pricing, AI customer support and post-placement data analysis, lowering the threshold for clients to place marketing materials, and improving placement performance and cost stability. Additionally, we'll also explore sales AI agents for lead-focused sectors, helping clients improve lead conversion efficiency and reduce customer acquisition costs. In e-commerce scenarios, we will improve the user search experience through the development of a search and recommendation agent, driving higher user search-based order volumes. We will also explore agent-based automated computing power optimization We will further share our progress on these fronts with you at appropriate time.
最后,我们还将推出新的算力中心建设。 算力是公司AI发展的核心根基与底层支撑。 满足公司研发迭代模型训练与推理需求, 公司将算力中心建设纳入规划以夯实AI发展算力 AIT team
Finally, we will also advance the construction of the new computing power centers. Computing power is the core foundation and underlying support of our AI development, meeting the company's demands for R&D iteration, model training, and inference enhancement. We have integrated the construction of computing centers into our strategic planning, aiming to solidify the computing foundation for AI development. By reserving expansion space to accommodate long-term needs, these centers will deeply support core tasks such as AI algorithm optimization and large model training, empowering our AI innovation with a robust computing foundation. In summary, we will continue to deeply cultivate the R&D of core AI technologies and their implementation across multiple scenarios, With firm computing investments and a deep AI talent pipeline, we will empower our content ecosystem and realize continuous growth in commercial value for our ecosystem partners. Thank you.
Thank you, operator.
Next question, please. The next question comes from Thomas Chong of Jefferies. Please go ahead.
Hi, good evening. Thanks management for taking my questions. On e-commerce, how should we think about the growth strategies in 2026? How should we think about the trend this year and the growth opportunities? Thank you.
Thank you for your question. In 2022, the big direction is still to return to the trend of fast-moving content marketing, and to play our role as the top of the content platform. From the point of view of normal strategy, we will focus on supply chain reform and continue to make good products. As we mentioned earlier, in 2025, the city government will launch the Chengfeng Project, As a targeted service plan for the leading brands, we will help the brands achieve rapid start-up and continuous growth in the fast-growing environment. In 2026, we will invest more resources in the supply chain, from the three-party traffic, product operation and service, in four dimensions, not only to surround the brands, but also to do a good job of increasing the industry range. We are determined to maintain the dynamic with 100 key industry ranges, and to join our e-commerce industry team, the small and medium-sized teams, and the rich business resources to do a good job of new business. With the growth of the e-commerce market and the current challenging e-commerce environment, the relationship between brands and platforms is reshaping. From the past simple industry positioning to the transformation of cooperative partners that grow together with merchants, we also hope to optimize the supply and demand of platforms at the same time to provide users with richer product choices. Of course, we must continue to do well in purchasing and infiltrating buyers. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for the question.
Our broad focus for 2026 reminds on returning to the essence of Kuaishou's content-based e-commerce and on maximizing our strengths as a content platform. Our growth strategy spans across three areas. First, we'll focus on the supply side of reforms to continuously refine supply and consistently offer good products. As mentioned earlier, in Q4 2025, we launched the Voyage initiative to provide a targeted support for top-tier brands. It's designed to help them quickly achieve strong start and sustained growth within the equation ecosystem. In 2026, we will also invest more resources on the supply side, primarily across four areas, merchant traffic, product, operations, and services. Our focus will extend beyond brands to include merchants in the key industrial zones. We've already identified 100 priority industrial zones, and we are actively managing them. Meanwhile, we are working closely with our e-commerce industry team, small and medium-sized merchant team, and service providers to empower our new merchants. As the e-commerce market matures and macroeconomic dynamics remain challenging, the relationship between platforms and brands is being reshaped. Platforms are evolving from single transactional roles to collaborative partners that grow alongside merchants. As we empower merchants more effectively, we also plan to refine the platform's supply ecosystem and provide users with a wider variety of products. Second, we will continuously improve paying user acquisition and penetration. Currently, there's still significant growth potential in the number of e-commerce monthly average paying users. In 2026, we'll focus on exploring and better understanding users' interest in e-commerce content. We'll also optimize our traffic strategies and leverage effective subsidy mechanisms, and across scenario synergies to boost paying user conversion and scale growth within superior products. Third, we will further optimize resource integration. This quarter, we have seen some preliminary success in implementing traffic synergy. Moving forward, we aim to deepen integration between e-commerce and commercialization, enhance coupon synergy, improve subsidy efficiency, and optimize overall resource allocation and investment efficiency.
We believe that the natural evolution of content e-commerce will still drive its penetration rate to increase in the online marketing and sales market. In the past year, the growth of the industry of men's clothing, fresh food, and other industries has been fast. This year, these industries will also continue the growth trend of last year. According to the 26 years we just mentioned, it will increase in the supply chain, and at the same time, smart marketing tools will help to increase and reduce the cost. We believe that the inherent conversion advantages of content-based e-commerce will continue to drive its penetration in the online retail market.
Over the past year, categories such as men's sportswear and fresh food grew rapidly. We expected these verticals to maintain their growth momentum this year. As we just mentioned about ramping supply in 2026 and leveraging intelligent operational tools to help merchants reduce costs and improve efficiency while offering them a clear, more certain path for growth, we expect even more structural growth opportunities in content-based e-commerce. In 2026, we expect to quite show e-commerce to achieve steady, high-quality growth.
在高质量增长的前提下,我们会进一步夯实电商的电信能力,深化全站推广和智能化投放的技术能力。 We expect that the core increase in e-commerce sales revenue will mainly come from the first, broad scale, focusing on the key segment industry, broadening the supply chain of the industry, and expanding the e-commerce sales service. Specifically, it includes makeup, outdoor sports, freshness, plus makeup, and other industry categories. Second, increase efficiency, actively introduce brand customers, optimize customer structure, and do a good job of resource integration and unification. We also hope to improve the efficiency of goods and services in the goods and services area. On the basis of expanding the supply of full-fledged products, we will increase the number of business cards in the business card market. portfolio set.
Under the promise of high-quality growth, we will further strengthen our e-commerce monetization capabilities and deepen the foundational capabilities of our Omni platform marketing solution and smart placement product. We expect that the core incremental growth for e-commerce marketing service revenue will come from three areas. First, skill expansion. By focusing on key verticals and broadening industry supply, we aim to scale monetization through e-commerce marketing services in categories such as cosmetic sports and outdoors, fresh food, and home furnishings. Second, efficiency improvement. We will actively bring in more brand clients, optimize client composition, and integrate resources to drive aligned growth for both GMV and marketing spending. Women's apparels, And healthcare will be a particular focus where we can enhance monetization efficiency. Third, sector expansion. We will expand into sectors where we lag our competitors, such as maternal and children pad and consumer electronics, identifying clear opportunities and driving breakthroughs. In addition, we are also looking to continuously improve monetization efficiency in shelf-based e-commerce, By expanding omni-domain product supply, we can increase merchants' marketing budgets on product cards.
In short,
Guided by the e-commerce growth strategy and monetization roadmap we outlined for 2026, we will take a steady, disciplined approach. We'll focus on the right long-term initiatives while leveraging our content platform strengths to better meet the consumption needs of our users. Thank you.
Thank you.
Operator, next question, please. The next question comes from Felix Liu of UBS. Please go ahead. Please ask the question.
Good evening. Thank you for answering my question. My question is about online marketing. In the current red light and industry environment, in addition to e-commerce, what are the main opportunities for online marketing in the industry in 2026? How can we seize these opportunities?
Sorry, just let me finish the English translation.
In addition to e-commerce, what are the main advertisement industry growth opportunities in 2026, and how do we plan to capture these opportunities? Thank you.
Thank you for your question.
From a sectoral perspective, we believe the key growth opportunities this year will mainly come from three sectors, lifestyle service, comic style short plays, and AI applications.
The traditional search platform continues to migrate to the content platform. The content form of short videos and live broadcasts is easier to establish user trust, reduce decision thresholds, and improve conversion efficiency. At the same time, the social service industry is still in the process of continuous onlineization. For example, for businesses in the agricultural, education, and car industries, the online platform is gradually becoming an important marketing and customer channel. From a platform perspective, we will continue to upgrade products to help businesses communicate more efficiently with potential customers and improve the conversion rate through the optimization of Wenda capabilities. In addition, customers in the life service industry, mainly small and medium-sized businesses, have higher requirements for customer service and delivery capabilities. We use the AIGC sales material solution to help small and medium-sized businesses produce sales material at a low cost.
In the lifestyle service sector, we have seen a continued shift in user behavior from traditional search platforms towards content platforms. Short videos and live streaming formats are more effective at building user trust, reducing decision-making friction, and improving conversion efficiency. In addition, the lifestyle service sector continues to deepen its online penetration. For merchants in sectors like agriculture, materials, education, and automotive, online platforms are gradually becoming key channels for marketing and customer acquisition. At the platform level, we'll continue to upgrade our products to help merchants reach their potential customers more effectively, while enhancing our in-platform interaction capabilities to improve conversion rates. Moreover, clients in the lifestyle service sector are mostly small and medium-sized merchants that require strong customer service and operational support. Through our AIGC marketing material solutions, we help small and medium-sized merchants generate marketing materials at low cost. In addition, our AI-powered customer service solutions enable merchants to provide 24-7 online support.
In the content consumption industry, as AI technology significantly improves content production efficiency and reduces production costs, the new content form of Manjus is rapidly developing. Manjus, as a global leading video production model based on the mature short film ecosystem and global leading video production model, has two advantages. Through the integration of content and technology, Manjus has been built into a fully integrated Manjus ecosystem that covers tools, content, and publishing. In addition, we also launched a full-fledged Manjoo service plan, which covers all aspects of flow and flow, and continuously enriches the platform's Manjoo content supply, and drives the growth of Manjoo's online sales consumption. Since the second half of last year, Manjoo's sales service revenue has increased rapidly. In March this year, the daily consumption value has surpassed 15 million RMB.
In the content consumption sector, as AI technology significantly improves content production efficiency and lowers production costs, the emerging content format, comic-style short plays, is advancing rapidly. As a top-tier player, Kuaishou has the dual advantages of our mature short play ecosystem and the world-leading video generation model. By deeply integrating content and technology, we're building a comic-style short play ecosystem that spans the entire value chain from tools and content to distribution. Additionally, we introduced a full-scale comic-style short play support program covering computing power, traffic, and other resources. These continuously enrich the platform's comic-style short play content supply and boost online marketing spending in this category. Since the second half of last year, the total spending from online marketing services driven by Kuaishou's comic-style short plays has increased rapidly. In March this year, peak daily marketing spending exceeded 15 million RMB.
AI application industry is also one of the most important growth opportunities for us in 2026. With the development of AI technology, all types of AI applications continue to be limited, and the entire industry is still in a rapid stage of development. We expect that the relevant industry needs in 2026 will remain significantly increased. The AI application sector is also what we view as another key growth driver for 2026.
As AI technology continues to advance and new applications emerge, the industry remains in a rapid growth phase. We expect the demand in these relevant sectors to continue growing significantly in 2026. Against this backdrop, we will strengthen and refine operations for our clients, continuously optimize short and long-term retention metrics, helping clients maximize the user lifetime value, all of which will prompt AI application clients to increase both their marketing spending scale and commitment on our platform.
总之呢,在汪2026年,我们将通过产品升级、内容生态建设以及重点行业客户运营, 更好的挖掘生活服务、漫剧及AI应用等行业增量机会实现线上营销服务收入的稳健增长。
In summary, for 2026, harnessing our product upgrade, content ecosystem development, and refine our operations for our clients in priority sectors, we aim to better capture incremental growth opportunities in the lifestyle service sector, comic-style short plays, and AI applications, driving solid growth in our online marketing services revenue. Thank you.
Thank you, Albert. Last question, please.
The last question is from Liao Yuan from Citix. The next question comes from Yuan Liao from Citix. Please go ahead.
Good morning, Mr. Liao. Good morning, Mr. Liao. Good evening, Mr. Matthew. Thank you for accepting my question. In this conference, we have mentioned many times the construction of a computing center. My question is, Thanks management for taking my questions. You have repeatedly mentioned the construction of computing power centers. So my question is, could management share your plan scale of AI-related CapEx in 2026, and the key area of your investment. So how will these CapEx investment affect your overall profit margin? Thank you.
Thank you for your question. As Mr. Yi said, in the past year, we have fully deepened our AI strategy. Multi-modal video generation model enables AI to upgrade its technology, Thanks for the question.
As Yixiao said, over the past year, we have fully deepened our AI strategy. Our multi-model large video generation model, Cling AI, has achieved impressive results in technology advancement, product duration, and commercial monetization. At the same time, AI has delivered strong value in empowering our content and commercial ecosystems, reinforcing our commitment and confidence to continue investing in AI.
In 2026, we expect the total capital investment of the company to reach about 2.6 billion RMB, which is about 1.1 billion RMB in comparison with the increase in the year 2025. These investments include the calculation investment on the Krillin model and other basic models, as well as the storage, processing, as well as data computing center construction and project investment. The improvement of KBX is due to the increase in the number of users and revenue size of KBX. On the other hand, this year we will also carry out an important overlap upgrade of KBX. Accordingly, we also need to increase the reserves on training computing. In the future, as the model overlaps,
In 2026, we expected the group's total compacts to reach approximately 26 billion RMB, an increase of about 11 billion compared with 2025. This covers computing resources for clean AI's large models and other foundational models, as well as routine server procurements, such as offline data storage and processing, and investments in data and computing center infrastructure. The increase in CapEx for Cling AI's large models is partly due to higher inference computing needs from our expanding user base and revenue scale. It also takes into consideration of our major Cling AI model upgrades scheduled for the year, which require additional investment in training computing power. With the advancement of model iteration in the future, we will also flexibly allocate computing resources between inference and training to maximize the efficiency of computing resource utilization.
Here, I would like to emphasize that we are a company that takes great care of cash flow management and maintains an abundant cash reserve. In 2025, although we have invested about 1.5 billion RMB in CapEx, There are still nearly 1.2 billion RMB of free cash flow at the group level throughout the year. Although CapEx investment has increased in 2026, our goal is to continue to maintain the positive free cash flow at the group level throughout the year. We believe that every investment at the moment will transform efficiency into future energy mobilization. While adhering to long-term technical investment, we also uphold financial discipline and maintain abundant cash reserves. to support the growth of high-quality assets in the AI era.
I would also like to emphasize that we are highly focused on cash flow management and maintaining ample cash reserves. In 2025, despite approximately 15 billion in capex, the group delivered nearly 12 billion RMB in free cash inflow for the year. For 2026, even with increased capex, we aim to continue maintaining positive free cash flow at the group level for the three year. We believe that every investment today will efficiently translate into future profit drivers. As we stay focused on long-term technology investments, we will maintain disciplined financial management and ample cash reserves. Our robust balance sheet will empower the group's sustainable, high-quality growth in the AI era. Thank you.
Let's conclude the Q&A session. Thank you, Operator.
