Core parameters and statistics

Kling AI (Kling) is Kuaishou’s flagship product in the direction of video generation. Its positioning is very focused - it is not another comprehensive painting tool, but takes "high-quality AI video" as the main battlefield, and its drawing capabilities are more like a complete set of services for video creation.

Video as the core: Keling AI's product focus has always been on video generation, emphasizing picture quality, motion continuity and lens control, which forms a clear distinction from platforms that focus on images.

Multi-terminal + API open structure: In addition to web pages and mobile apps, Keling also opens up its video generation capabilities to the outside world through APIs, making it easier to integrate and call content platforms, marketing tools, etc.

User and market recognition

Since its launch, Keling AI has received high attention in the domestic and foreign AI video tracks. It is widely regarded as one of the representative products of domestic Wensheng Video and has appeared many times in comparative discussions on AI video capabilities. Backed by Kuaishou's content and computing power system, it has natural advantages in penetrating into the short video creation ecosystem.

The official has not disclosed precise operating data such as the number of registered users, the number of paying users, or the number of enterprise connections within the verifiable scope of this article. The relevant scale is subject to the official real-time disclosure of Kuaishou and Keling, and no numerical inference will be made here.

Cost advantage

Keling AI's cost structure covers three levels: individuals, professional creators and developers:

• C-side (points system): Free credits are usually issued on the web and App side in the form of points/inspiration points. New users can experience video generation several times for free; high-frequency or high-definition generation requires a membership subscription or the purchase of points.
• Professional Creator: Provides membership packages for high-frequency film production users, unlocking rights such as higher resolution, longer duration, faster film production queue, etc.
• Developer/API: The video generation capability is billed in the form of API based on call volume/duration, which is suitable for teams that need to generate in batches or integrate into their own products.

The truth about free: Free points are enough for experience and sporadic creation, but AI videos are naturally "expensive" - ​​a single high-definition long video consumes much more computing power than producing a picture, and the free quota will soon bottom out. Really stable productivity comes from membership or API payment, and the budget needs to be estimated based on "number of films produced × duration × resolution" rather than simply looking at whether it is free.

Main functions

• Wensheng Video: Enter a text description to directly generate a short video. It supports lens, style and movement control, and is suitable for advertising creativity and social media content.
• Tu Sheng Video: Upload static images to make the pictures "move". This is a high-frequency usage of turning illustrations, posters, and photos into dynamic materials.
• Camera movement and motion control: Provides special controls such as lens movement, first and last frames, and video continuation to improve the controllability of the finished film.
• Wen Sheng Tu: As a prerequisite for video creation, first draw a picture to determine the visual style, and then enter the Tu Sheng video.
• API access: Open the video generation capability to the outside world to facilitate the integration of third-party products.

Expert’s point of view: The difference of Keling AI is not in “whether it can generate videos”, but in “controllability”. Capabilities such as first and last frames, camera movement, and continuation push AI videos from "blind box opening" to "programmable", which is particularly critical for marketing and film and television preview scenes that require stable delivery - it reduces the scrap rate of repeated card drawings, and the scrap rate is the biggest hidden cost of AI videos.

Model and version evolution

The capabilities of Keling AI follow the iteration of Keling's large model version:

• Keling 1.0 (~2024-06): First launched, entering the public eye with high-quality Wensheng videos.
• Keling 1.6 (~2024-12): The 1.x series continues to iterate, improving duration, clarity and motion stability, and improving image processing video and camera movement control.
• KeLing 2.0 (~2025-04): Overall upgrade of image quality, motion coherence and prompt word understanding, strengthening complex movements and lens control.

The exact release date of each version has not been officially disclosed one by one. The above nodes are subject to official and community disclosures. It is recommended to verify the current version number on the official website real-time page.

Technical advantages

• Image quality and coherence of video generation: Keling's performance in motion consistency and image stability is the core of its repeated benchmarking. Behind this is the diffusion model and training data accumulation specifically for video.
• Controllable generation capability: Control items such as first and last frames, camera movement, and continuation of writing structure the generation process, reducing rework caused by uncontrollability.
• Kuaishou Ecosystem and Computing Power Support: Relying on Kuaishou’s accumulation of short video content and large-scale computing power, Keling has engineering carrying capacity in high-concurrency film scenarios and is closer to real content creation needs.

How to use

Entrance	Applicable objects	How to use
Web	Personal/Professional Creator	After logging in, select Wensheng Video/Tusheng Video, enter prompt words or upload pictures to generate
Mobile App	Mobile Creator	Create and manage works within iOS/Android App
API	Developer/Enterprise	After activating the service, call it according to the interface and integrate it into your own products

Typical usage steps (web page): Log in to your Keling account → Select "Tusheng Video" or "Wensheng Video" → Upload reference images or enter prompt words → Set parameters such as duration, camera movement, first and last frames → Generate and download, and use "Continue" to extend the clip if necessary.

Product Pricing

Keling AI adopts the model of “free points + membership subscription + API billing”:

• Free points/inspiration points are issued on the web and app, suitable for experience and sporadic creation.
• The membership package is aimed at high-frequency creators, unlocking higher resolutions, longer durations, and faster queues, with tiered prices.
• The API side is billed based on the amount of calls/duration, oriented towards large-scale production.

The specific points rules, membership levels and API prices will be adjusted with versions and activities. This article does not have a fixed amount, so it is recommended.

Application scenarios

• Marketing and Advertising Creativity: Quickly generate product demonstrations, concept short films and social media materials to shorten the cycle from creativity to production.
• Short videos and self-media: Tusheng Video turns static materials into dynamic content to improve account update efficiency.
• Film/Animation Preview: Use controllable camera movement and first and last frames for storyboard preview and proof of concept.
• Content platform integration: Embed video generation capabilities into authoring tools or content platforms through APIs.

Applicable people

• Marketing/Advertising Team: Need to produce video materials in batches and quickly, and pay attention to controllability and film production rate.
• Short Video Creator: Individual users who want to convert pictures/creatives into dynamic content at low cost.
• Film and TV/Animation Practitioners: Used for early concept verification and storyboard rehearsal, not for the final film.
• Not suitable for the crowd: Serious film and television productions that require long narratives, precise continuity and highly original visions still need to be manually led. AI videos are more suitable for fragmented and creative scenes.

Summary and Outlook

Keling AI's core competitiveness lies in "video quality + controllable generation + Kuaishou ecosystem": it pushes AI videos from random card drawing to programmable creation, and covers the needs from individuals to enterprises through multiple terminals and APIs. The current limitation is that official disclosure of precise operating data and version nodes is limited, and the computing power cost of high-quality video generation is still high.

In the future, it is worth observing Keling’s iterations in video duration, resolution and continuity, as well as the pricing and ecological expansion of API commercialization. For teams planned to be introduced, it is recommended to first use free points to verify whether the image quality and controllability meet the needs of the business, and then decide whether to use membership or API based on the volume of films produced; companies need to verify commercial authorization and content compliance terms before purchasing.
