Kuaishou unveils Kling, a Sora-style text-to-video model claiming two-minute 1080p clips at 30 fps, to waitlisted testers in China; a web version follows in early July and worldwide email sign-up on 24 July 2024.

Kuaishou's Kling 1.5 adds 1080p output in Professional mode and Motion Brush, which lets creators draw the path of any element in an image, with a claimed 95% improvement over 1.0.

Kuaishou's Kling 1.6 improves prompt adherence and motion, with a claimed 195% gain over 1.5 in image-to-video and first and last frame control in Pro mode, and goes on to top the Artificial Analysis image-to-video arena.

At its From Vision to Screen event in Beijing, Kuaishou launches Kling 2.0 Master and Kolors 2.0, adding multimodal editing that lets users add, swap or delete elements in a clip from images or text.

Kuaishou introduces the Kling 2.1 family in Standard (720p), Professional (1080p) and Master tiers, initially image-to-video only, days after Google's Veo 3; Master costs about $3 for ten seconds.

Kuaishou launches Kling 2.5 Turbo, a faster and about 30% cheaper video model that Kling says beats Veo 3-fast and Seedance 1.0 in blind tests and that topped Artificial Analysis's text- and image-to-video arenas within ten days.

Kling AI launches Video 2.6, its first model with native audio: voices, singing, sound effects and ambience generated in one pass with the picture, in English and Chinese, for 5 and 10 second clips.

Kling AI launches the 3.0 series, including Video 3.0 and Video 3.0 Omni, with 15-second clips, native multilingual audio with accents and dialects, multi-shot storytelling and video-referenced characters, first to Ultra subscribers.

Kuaishou's Kling 4.0 reaches full availability on 15 October 2026 after a 28 September Flash preview: native 30-second clips, 10 keyframes, 15 combined references, stereo audio with multilingual lip-sync and editing, with 4K and HDR still marked coming soon.

Kuaishou has announced nothing after Kling 4.0 (full release 15 October 2026), but its release gaps, a median of about three months, and pending 4K, HDR and API features point to the next Kling model around January 2027.
