文生视频明星创企Pika宣布完成B轮融资，投资方包括Spark Capital、Greycroft、Lightspeed Venture Partners和Jared Leto。本次融资主要用于加速公司构建最佳视频模型，招聘优秀人才。然而，相较于竞品Pika在视频生成时间、动作流畅度及真实物理定律等方面的不足，Pika此次获得的投资青睐可能与其即将推出的新型产品直接相关。目前，Pika已完成了五轮融资，并发布首款AI视频生成产品Pika 1.0，用户可对其实时进行视频和修改。
Pika, a Chinese video sharing platform for artificial intelligence-generated videos, has announced its latest funding round of B轮投资. The round was led by Spark Capital, Greycroft, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Jared Leto, with participation from existing investors.
The company's recent round, which saw five investments made so far, represents continued growth in terms of user base and platform features. With the new round, Pika aims to accelerate the development of its best video model, while also focusing on recruiting and retaining talented individuals in the team.
One area where Pika stands out is in its ability to generate high-quality AI-generated videos. In previous rounds, the company had faced criticism for its lack of visual content compared to competitors such as TikTok. However, with this new round, Pika appears to have taken steps to address these concerns, with plans to roll out a new product called Pika 1.0 soon.
Pika's founders and CEO, Mr. Liang, said that the new product will allow users to edit and modify their AI-generated videos in real-time. This could be particularly beneficial for creators who want to use AI technology to produce unique and creative content, but struggle with editing skills.
With the recent success of other video platforms, such as TikTok, it remains to be seen whether Pika can continue to gain traction and attract new users. But with its focus on building the best video model and attracting top talent, the company seems well positioned to succeed in the rapidly evolving world of AI-generated video content.
