KuaishouComing soon
Kling 4.0
Kuaishou's Kling 4.0, announced September 28, 2026: native 30-second clips, up to 10 keyframes, full release in October.
What is Kling 4.0?
Kling 4.0 is Kuaishou's next video model.
Kling AI announced it on September 28, 2026 under the line "You call the shots" and describes it as "stable dynamic motions and an immersive audio-visual experience", with the full model coming this October. Kling 4.0 Flash, a faster variant, is already live for Kling's Ultra Yearly subscribers. Kling 4.0 is not on Flashloop yet; Kling 3.0 and Kling 3.0 Turbo are.
Two numbers stand out in Kling's launch post: native 30-second generation, and multi-keyframe control with up to 10 keyframes, so a scene can be pinned at chosen moments and not only at its first and last frame. Kling 3.0 already documents 3 to 15 second clips, native dialogue in five languages, multi-shot storyboarding, element references and start and end frames, and native 4K arrived for the 3.0 series in April 2026.
Early reports add up to 15 multimodal references, video extension and higher output formats, and they disagree on the output resolution; none of it is in Kling's documentation yet. When the model arrives, the useful test is a long take with a person, a product and a fixed order of actions: does the same face, the same package and the same sequence survive 30 seconds with fewer retries than Kling 3.0 needs today.

Audio-visual performance
Kuaishou describes 4.0 as "stable dynamic motions and an immersive audio-visual experience", and Kling 3.0 already generates native dialogue

Prompts to try with Kling 4.0
“Shot 1: a matte black speaker sits on a walnut table in a bright studio, slow push-in. Shot 2: a hand lifts it and turns it to camera, the fabric grille catches the light. Shot 3: it is set back down as a blue ring glows on. Same speaker, same table, 16:9.”
Where Kling 4.0 fits best
Long single-take scenes
A 30-second window fits an intro, a main action and an ending in one generation instead of three clips stitched together.
Keyframed product sequences
Pin the product at chosen moments, unboxed, lifted, turned to camera, so the sequence follows your order rather than the model's.
Character-driven short films
Carry the same face, outfit and prop through a longer take, the continuity job Kling 3.0 already does across cuts.
Dialogue scenes with native audio
Two characters alternating lines, in the languages Kling's family already documents, with the audio generated with the picture.
Drafting with Flash, finishing with the full model
Explore framing and camera moves on the faster variant, then decide what deserves the full model once both are available.

Good to know before you generate
- Not on Flashloop yet: Kuaishou has announced the model, not a platform release date
- Final specs are unconfirmed: Kling has not documented output resolution, reference limits or extension for 4.0
- Flash is not the full model: early access to Kling 4.0 Flash says nothing about the quality or limits of the October release
- A 30-second window is not 30 usable seconds: check that a character or product stays the same across the whole take before you rely on it
