Kling 4.0 — Kuaishou's Next-Gen AI Video Model

Kling 4.0 is the next Kling video model from Kuaishou, currently in pre-release testing. Leaked Kling 4.0 settings show 30-second clips, up to 10 keyframes, and up to 15 references per shot. Kling 4.0 is coming to reAPI; Kling 3.0 is live today.

Coming soon — the API for this model is not available yet.

What is Kling 4.0?

Kling 4.0 is the fourth generation of Kuaishou's Kling video model. As of September 25, 2026, Kuaishou has not announced Kling 4.0, published specs, or opened an API. What exists is a leak: on September 24, 2026, screenshots from the Dev Mode Discord (@MarsForTech) showed "VIDEO 4.0 Preview" and "VIDEO 4.0 Flash Preview" in Kling's creator app, with 3–30 second clips, 720p and 1080p, and a keyframe mode with up to 10 frames. Treat every Kling 4.0 spec on this page as unconfirmed until Kuaishou publishes it.

What you can build with this model

Real-world workflows and production use cases you can build and ship with this model.

Kling 4.0 long single-take video generation

Longer takes in one render

Kling 3.0 tops out at 15 seconds per clip. The leaked Kling 4.0 settings go to 30 seconds, and an experimental Long Video mode reaches 120 seconds at up to 1080p. If that ships, a full product demo or scene fits in one generation instead of three stitched clips.

Kling 4.0 keyframe-directed shot with first, middle, and last frames

Direct the shot with keyframes

The Kling 4.0 Preview panel shows first, middle, and last frame slots and a keyframe mode with up to 10 frames. You pin where the shot starts, where it passes, and where it lands, and Kling 4.0 fills the motion between them.

Kling 4.0 multi-reference character consistency

Keep characters on-model with references

Kling 4.0 reportedly accepts up to 15 references in one request: 10 images, 5 videos, and 7 Elements, plus up to 3 voice references. That is the part to watch for brand mascots, recurring characters, and series content.

Why reAPI for Kling 4.0

Build on Kling 3.0 today

Kling 3.0 is live on reAPI now at /models/kling-3-0: text-to-video, image-to-video, multi-shot, native audio, up to 4K. Ship on it today and move to Kling 4.0 when it lands.

One key for every model

Your reAPI key already covers Kling, Seedance, Veo, Wan, and the rest. When Kling 4.0 goes live, it is a new model id on the same /api/v1/videos/generations endpoint, not a new vendor account.

Pay per second, no subscription

reAPI bills by the second of output, and credits never expire. Kling 4.0 rates will be posted on this page at launch; nobody has published official Kling 4.0 pricing yet.
