Kling AI (Kuaishou): videos up to 2 minutes at 1080p, in public beta in China
In one sentence Kuaishou unveils Kling, a diffusion-transformer text-to-video model claiming clips up to 2 minutes, 1080p and 30 fps. The beta opens to Chinese users of the KuaiYing app, while Sora stays closed.
A few months after OpenAI showed Sora without making it publicly available, Chinese company Kuaishou unveils Kling, with similar ambitions and one concrete difference: people can try it.
Kuaishou claims videos up to 2 minutes, at 1080p and 30 frames per second, in various formats. That is the model's ceiling: in the beta users generate much shorter clips.
The beta starts inside KuaiYing, Kuaishou's video editing app, only for users in China and on request. The signal is clear: global competition in generative video has started without waiting for OpenAI.
