Qiniu

Qiniu (七牛云) is a Chinese cloud computing and artificial intelligence platform company founded in 2011 and headquartered in Shanghai. Its operating entity is Shanghai Qiniu Information Technology Co., Ltd. (上海七牛信息技术有限公司), and it is a Hong Kong-listed technology company trading under the ticker 02567.HK. The company positions itself as a "one-stop neutral audio-video cloud + AI" provider, serving more than 1,800,000 enterprise users and developers, with customers reported to include leading companies such as Xiaohongshu, NIO and Kuaishou. Qiniu's core heritage is in cloud infrastructure for media and data. Its flagship object storage service (Kodo) offers tiered storage classes — standard, infrequent access, intelligent tiering, archive and deep archive — with pay-as-you-go and prepaid resource-package billing, free monthly quotas for verified users, and data centers across mainland China (East China–Zhejiang, South China–Guangdong, North China–Hebei), Los Angeles, Singapore, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Around this storage core, Qiniu provides CDN and content delivery, cross-region synchronization, data processing such as image handling, and transfer acceleration. Beyond storage and delivery, Qiniu has expanded into full-stack cloud computing and AI. Its Full-Stack Application Server (LAS) is a packaged cloud server product combining compute, storage and networking, aimed at small and medium enterprises and developers building websites, mini-programs, e-commerce, cloud drives and development or learning environments. LAS nodes cover regions including Changshan in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo and Ho Chi Minh City, with Brazil, North America and South Korea in trial. The company also offers an AI Agent Sandbox (DSH) with sub-200-millisecond startup, large-scale concurrency and state persistence. On the AI side, Qiniu markets enterprise Token Plans that give access to mainstream large models — including several new domestic Chinese models — through a single API key, with tiered Enterprise packages, annual discounts and team sharing. It promotes large-model inference, an AI assistant ecosystem, and a range of vertical AI applications spanning finance, content, marketing, gaming and tools: Data Agent, intelligent Q&A assistants, customer-service robots, code assistants, podcast production, multimodal content analysis, document processing, financial advisory, blockchain transaction analysis, risk control, insurance claims and compliance review. Its Lingxi AI (灵矽AI) line targets next-generation intelligent hardware and robotics, offering multimodal voice-interaction models and platforms with sub-600-millisecond latency and multi-model plus MCP extensibility. Qiniu describes its mission as "shortening the distance from idea to product" and promotes a culture of simplicity, openness, collaboration and craftsmanship. It has received numerous recognitions, including being named a Shanghai "specialized, refined, distinctive and innovative" enterprise for 2023–2026, a 2021 unicorn by 36Kr, a 2021 cloud computing innovation leader, and various AI company and application awards in 2025 and 2026. The company continues to operate as an independent audio-video cloud platform while broadening into AI infrastructure and applications.

Qiniu was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Shanghai, operating through Shanghai Qiniu Information Technology Co., Ltd. (上海七牛信息技术有限公司). From its early years the company focused on cloud services for developers and enterprises, building a reputation around object storage and media delivery. Its object storage service, known as Kodo, became a foundational product, offering tiered storage classes and a pay-as-you-go model with free monthly quotas for verified users. Over time Qiniu expanded its regional footprint to include data centers in mainland China (East China–Zhejiang, South China–Guangdong, North China–Hebei) as well as Los Angeles, Singapore, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. As cloud and media demands grew, Qiniu broadened from storage into a fuller cloud platform. It added CDN and content delivery, cross-region synchronization, data processing such as image handling, and transfer acceleration. The company positioned itself as a neutral audio-video cloud provider, serving a large base of developers and enterprises; its official materials state it serves more than 1,800,000 enterprise users and developers, with customers including Xiaohongshu, NIO and Kuaishou. A significant strategic shift came with the rise of artificial intelligence. Qiniu introduced AI-oriented offerings including enterprise Token Plans that provide access to mainstream large models through a single API key, with tiered Enterprise packages and team sharing. It also launched a Full-Stack Application Server (LAS) that packages compute, storage and networking for small and medium enterprises and developers, and an AI Agent Sandbox (DSH) with sub-200-millisecond startup and state persistence. Its Lingxi AI (灵矽AI) line targets intelligent hardware and robotics with multimodal voice interaction and sub-600-millisecond latency. The company became a Hong Kong-listed technology company, trading under the ticker 02567.HK. It has received recognition including being named a Shanghai "specialized, refined, distinctive and innovative" enterprise for 2023–2026, a 2021 unicorn by 36Kr, a 2021 cloud computing innovation leader, and various AI awards in 2025 and 2026.
