Reference-to-video differs from image-to-video in how the input is used: rather than treating an uploaded picture as the opening frame, the model takes reference material as conditioning and composes a new scene around it, which is what makes the mode useful when the same subject must recur across separate generations.
Within the catalog, its direct predecessor in the same family is Kling V3 4K R2V, released in April 2026. Earlier reference-conditioned entries include Kling O3 4K R2V, Kling O3 Pro R2V and Kling O3 Standard R2V, and the broader Kling catalog also spans motion-control and Turbo tiers such as Kling V3 Turbo Pro.
No primary Kuaishou documentation or independent top-evaluator results for this specific variant were available at the time of writing, so this entry stays to verifiable catalog facts: it is a video model from the Kuaishou-developed Kling family, released in October 2026, operating in reference-to-video mode. Capability details, resolution and duration limits should be confirmed against Kuaishou's own documentation before production use.

"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.
