It takes a still image as the starting frame and animates it according to a natural-language prompt describing motion, performance and camera behaviour. The catalog dates this release to 24 October 2026 and positions the Kling family around cinematic output quality, human motion and editorial-style scenes.
It arrives as part of a three-way release wave with Kling 4.0 text-to-video and Kling 4.0 R2V reference-to-video, which share the same generation label and release date but differ in how the generation is conditioned: prompt only, a starting image, or supplied reference assets.
Within the lineage, Kling 4.0 follows a dense run of 2026 releases: the February 2026 V3 tier represented here by Kling V3 Pro and Kling V3 Standard, the parallel O3 line such as Kling O3 Pro, and the June 2026 speed-oriented Kling V3 Turbo Pro. Earlier still are Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro and Kling 2.6 Pro.
No official Kuaishou model card or documentation page was available as a trusted source when this entry was written, so specific generation-over-generation figures — clip length, reference counts, aspect ratios or audio behaviour — are deliberately omitted rather than taken from secondary listings. Users should confirm current limits against Kuaishou's own documentation before building production workflows around them.

"Best price" and the seller table are live Antseed catalog data (advertised $/1M tokens — or $ per generated image for unit-billed image models — not settled amounts). Reputation = buyer trust score (0-100, the Antseed SDK's own formula). "Routing" = the SDK's default buyer routing (what the VPR desktop app ships with): a trust ≥ 60 gate on the effective reputation, then cheapest-first among routable sellers; live failover state (per-peer cooldowns) is buyer-side runtime and not included. Model knowledge (TLDR, provider, About) via the VeniceStats enrichment layer. Advertised catalog, not the model used in any specific purchase. "Usage on Antseed" counts only settlements whose buyers share the per-model split on-chain (metadata v2/v3, opt-in), so every usage figure is a lower bound.
