Kling 3.0
Kling 3.0 by Kuaishou: 3 to 15 second clips in 720p, 1080p and 4K, from a description or the first and last frame, with optional sound.
Kling 3.0 is a Kuaishou video model. It makes 3 to 15 second clips from a description or from a photo — the first and, optionally, the last frame.
Quality: Standard (720p), Pro (1080p) or 4K. Sound is optional: effects, music and voices are made together with the picture; with sound costs more (same price in 4K). You pay per second of the clip.
One model, kling-3.0 · ~4 min. The result follows the input fields (prompt, frames, references, video_mode, duration) — there are no separate «animate / edit» endpoints.
