The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.

some of the already available generations made with Kling 1.5 compete in quality and even beat Sora’s handpicked demos.
One example displays a woman in a nighttime city scene, with the new version showing sharper contours and more realistic lighting.
This was a VERY close race between the two models, and in none of the tests did either shine perfectly or perform to the best of their ability.
