The model successfully enables deep perception across 256K ultra-long context, while delivering nearly lossless reasoning capabilities for long-video temporal understanding. We introduced** _AgentX_**, a self-evolving AI agent for industrial recommendation systems. It enables recommendation systems to autonomously drive recommendation model and strategy design, evaluate performance and accumulate insights, significantly boosting the iteration efficiency of recommendation algorithms. As part of our large model technology applications, we developed agent capabilities for scenario-based marketing materials generation in online marketing service scenarios. By offering tailored marketing materials generation capabilities to meet the needs across industries and clients, we achieved over 70% year-over-year growth in spending on AIGC short video marketing materials in the second quarter of 2026. We continued to extend our generative recommendation and intelligent bidding large models to a broader range of scenarios, including live streaming, search, and pan-shelf-based e-commerce, improving the effectiveness of marketing content recommendations, and unlocking marketing budgets from our clients. In the second quarter of 2026, in terms of organizational efficiency enhancement and empowerment, Kuaishou’s proprietary general-purpose agent product, **_MyFlicker_**, has successfully integrated skills across key internal systems and is now widely adopted by our employees.

In terms of new user acquisition, we leveraged AI-powered smart placement to improve user acquisition efficiency while enhancing overall retention among new and reactivated users. We consistently refined our traffic allocation system to better safeguard the experience of our highly active core users. We continued to refine our social features. The number of users with mutual followers engaging in private messaging increased by more than 15.0% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2026. We also focused on optimizing Kuaishou App’s basic features, comprehensively elevating the user experience through systematic improvements to product features, video playback smoothness and intelligent interaction. We firmly believe in the power of community and continue to enhance the differentiated, high-quality content ecosystem that highlights Kuaishou’s community-centric core. During June and July 2026, riding the wave of the World Cup, we launched our native IP the **_Kuaishou World Cup Fans Trophy (_****_快手鐵力神杯_****_)_**. Beyond covering trending topics and news, we introduced a series of original activities, including the **_Kuaishou X.Y.Style FC (_****_快手象牙山足球大賽_****_), Dream Chasers Youth Football Tournament (_****_逐夢少年足球賽_****_)_**. Through trending topic operations, engaging interactions, and community-wide content co-creation, we built a new sports hub where every user on Kuaishou platform could participate, engage, and share their passion. During the campaign period, Content related to these events generated 68.2 billion impressions on the Kuaishou App, while livestreams of these initiatives garnered nearly 360 million viewers. We have deepened our innovative copyright cooperation mechanisms, utilizing a joint- operation model to deliver higher-value content consumption for our users. We leveraged e-commerce live streaming to introduce live broadcasting rights for the 2026 CBA season. Furthermore, we introduced the ticketed live-streaming model to online music performances. In April 2026, we hosted the **_TOP (TOP_****_登陸少年組合_****_)_** concert, generating more than RMB10 million in sales from this single event, realizing a synergy between content and commercialization. Furthermore, this model has driven grassroots sports events, establishing a notable regional scale, especially across Northwest China. **Online marketing services** In the second quarter of 2026, revenue from online marketing services reached RMB20.6 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 4.4%. Our non-e-commerce marketing services continued to expand across the content consumption, lifestyle services and AI application sectors. Empowered by our omni-domain traffic synergy strategy and dedicated programs for brand merchants, our e-commerce marketing services demonstrated resilience. At the same time, by leveraging AI technologies, we further deepened the application of AI across the full online marketing services workflow. During the second quarter of 2026, the content consumption, lifestyle services and AI application sectors continued to drive year-on-year growth in our non-e-commerce marketing services revenue. In the content consumption sector, AI reduced content production costs and lowered barriers to content creation, driving rapid growth in the supply of short play content, and catering to increasingly diverse user preferences. This further enriched the platform’s content ecosystem and boosted related marketing demand. As of June 2026, the supply of short plays on Kuaishou platform, including both live-action and AI-generated short plays, increased by more than fivefold compared with January 2026. In the second quarter of 2026, the total spending from online marketing services driven by short plays increased by more than 100.0% year-over- year. In the lifestyle services sector, we continued to deepen our presence across sub-verticals, such as comprehensive services and local services, while exploring incremental growth opportunities across these areas. Meanwhile, by optimizing deep conversion capabilities, enhancing our full-stack lead-driven marketing solutions, and launching the user exploration AI agent, we enabled our clients to more effectively identify high-intent users, improving lead quality and subsequent conversion efficiency. In the AI application sector, we worked closely with our clients to better align advertising placement and in-app conversion, helping them improve user retention and conversion performance. These efforts further strengthened our competitiveness in capturing advertising spending from AI application clients. For e-commerce marketing services, in the second quarter of 2026, we strengthened omni-domain traffic synergy across our e-commerce and online marketing businesses to improve the efficiency of matching merchants with relevant traffic. We conducted more granular merchant segmentation and implemented tiered operations, tailoring differentiated product strategies to address merchants’ core needs across different segments. Meanwhile, we intervened at the supply level of marketing materials by actively taking governance measures, including incentivizing first-launch content and increasing recommendation diversity. These initiatives effectively optimized the content mix for e-commerce marketing materials, enabling high-quality content to reach target traffic more efficiently, while further optimizing our long-term commercialization ecosystem. Amid continued macro consumption and merchant operational challenges, we remained committed to providing traffic support to high-quality merchants. The **_T2000 brand initiative (T2000_****_品牌專項_****_)_** launched in the fourth quarter of 2025 has delivered promising initial results. Marketing spend by T2000 brand merchants outpaced that of our broader e-commerce marketing, and its contribution to online marketing services revenue continued to increase in the second quarter of 2026. At the product level of e-commerce marketing services, our **_Net Transaction ROI (_****_淨成交_****_ROI)_** product continued to evolve. By enhancing omni-scenario transaction bidding capabilities and refining bidding mechanisms and model strategies, its client penetration rate increased from 45.0% in the first quarter of 2026 to 55.0% in the second quarter of 2026, effectively helping merchants reduce product return rates. In the second quarter of 2026, we continued to optimize the applications of AI across industry-specific scenarios, further enhancing clients’ marketing placement efficiency and expanding our capacity to attract incremental marketing budgets across industries. In content consumption scenarios, through content understanding, user matching, smart placement and monetization strategy optimization, AI enabled high-quality content to reach potential users more efficiently. In lifestyle service scenarios, AI capabilities were primarily applied across areas including marketing materials generation, digital human live streaming, conversational business operations, user intent identification and deep conversion prediction, helping merchants reduce the costs associated with content creation, marketing placement operations and manual customer service. **E-commerce** In the second quarter of 2026, we further advanced our e-commerce strategy by focusing on three key areas: growing our paying user base, expanding supply, and deepening the integration of e-commerce and commercialization traffic. We prioritized optimizing our merchant ecosystem and merchant mix, strengthening the acquisition and development of brands and new merchants, and fostering greater synergies between e-commerce and e-commerce marketing. During the second quarter of 2026, we focused on increasing the number of high-quality users, while the number of active paying users in our e-commerce business remained largely stable quarter-over-quarter. With users’ omni- domain consumption habits continuing to develop, we strengthened our private-domain advantages, meanwhile, by aligning traffic across diverse scenarios, we enabled content-driven product recommendation, shelf-based conversion and store repurchases to increasingly reinforce one another, creating a positive growth cycle. In the second quarter of 2026, we further enhanced cross-scenario synergies and optimized subsidy efficiency, driving balanced development across content-based scenarios and pan-shelf-based scenarios. On the supply side, in the second quarter of 2026, we continued to onboard new merchants and advance brand expansion. Through initiatives focused on cost reduction, efficiency improvement, growth incentives, product empowerment and operational support, we consistently supported the growth of new merchants and small and medium-sized merchants, further improving our merchant ecosystem and mix. We launched an upgraded version of our **_Starlight Initiative (_****_星耀計劃_****_)_**, offering tiered support programs for different merchant segments, including brand merchants, large merchants, industrial zone merchants, and small and medium-sized merchants, to help more merchants scale their businesses more rapidly. Supported by these initiatives, the number of newly onboarded merchants increased year-over-year and rose nearly 10.0% quarter- over-quarter in the second quarter of 2026. The number of new merchants achieving scaled growth in their second month after onboarding increased by nearly 30.0% year- over-year, reflecting continued improvements in the quality of growth among new merchants. On the brand merchant side, self-operated GMV from T2000 brands maintained strong year-over-year growth with contribution to overall GMV increased steadily. Meanwhile, marketing spend from brand merchants grew rapidly year-over-year, further enhancing their contribution to both overall e-commerce GMV and online marketing revenue. In the second quarter of 2026, we continued to improve our KOL ecosystem and structure, enhancing the quality of supply across content-based scenarios. We deepened our collaborations with top-tier KOLs, increased support for mid-tier KOLs in verticals where Kuaishou has competitive advantages, such as **_Three Rural (_****_三農_****_)_** and anime, and improved the consistency of existing KOLs’ performance, reinforcing our e-commerce content fundamentals. By integrating our outstanding KOL resources with distinctive product offerings nationwide, we deepened our penetration in industrial zones across China and launched differentiated content marketing initiatives, including product origins tracing livestreaming. These efforts strengthened the synergy between content and supply, empowered KOLs and improved merchants’ conversion efficiency. Meanwhile, we continued to expand our KOL base through multiple channels, including in-platform incubation, partnerships with talent agencies and external recruitment. To boost KOL streaming frequency, we continuously refined our incentive policies. In the second quarter of 2026, the number of streamers hosting live sessions with over 10,000 followers increased year-over-year, while KOL streaming frequency continued to increase steadily. Regarding distribution pool development, we leveraged AI technologies to enhance our underlying product capabilities, creating a more targeted distribution pool system, further fostering the vibrancy of our distribution ecosystem. In the second quarter of 2026, the penetration of active KOLs participating in distribution continued to increase year-over-year, and the number of merchant-KOL matches in the distribution pool increased by over 20.0% year-over-year. In the second quarter of 2026, we continued to optimize AI capabilities across our e-commerce scenarios throughout the full lifecycle of merchants, enabling merchants to reduce costs, improve efficiency and adopt intelligent business operations.

In the first half of 2026, more than 850,000 merchants utilized our free AI-powered business operation tools across a wide range of scenarios, including product selection and listing, marketing materials generation, business analysis, smart placement and AI-powered customer service. These AI tools provided merchants with end-to-end operational support and capability enhancements. **Live streaming** In the second quarter of 2026, live streaming revenue reached RMB8.7 billion. We focused on the healthy development of our supply ecosystem and leveraged AI to empower live-streaming products, continuously driving ecosystem quality enhancements and product innovation.

Moreover, we encouraged top-tier streamers to expand into group live-streaming content formats, leveraging their traffic and influence to enrich the supply of high-quality live- streaming content. On the product and technology front, AI capabilities further empowered live-streaming rooms. Powered by Kling AI’s video generation capabilities, AI gifts with customizable special effects continued to evolve, offering a wider variety of gift formats and generation capabilities and further enhancing users’ willingness to pay.

For online marketing services, leveraging major events such as Festa Junina and the World Cup, we empowered our marketing clients to achieve rapid growth during critical windows through AI-driven initiatives, including in-depth ROI analysis, user insights, innovative product features, and industry-specific strategies. Moreover, we further unlocked the monetization potential of short plays and other diversified content formats, forming a dual-engine growth model together with our marketing service product capabilities, while accelerating expansion into growth sectors such as e-commerce. Regarding overseas e-commerce, we continued to deliver solid year-over-year growth in GMV and order volume in the second quarter of 2026. At the same time, we drove growth in average order value through product mix optimization and high-quality supply, while maintaining solid operational efficiency and profit-generating ability. **Corporate social responsibility** Kuaishou remains firmly committed to its mission of "connecting good faith with technology and creating long-term values", continuously driving the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial development to foster high-quality employment.
