Show HN: Kling VIDEO 3.0 released: 15-second AI video generation model
Kling just announced VIDEO 3.0 - a significant upgrade from their 2.6 and O1 models.
Key improvements:
*Extended duration:*
• Up to 15 seconds of continuous video (vs previous 5-10 seconds)
• Flexible duration ranging from 3-15 seconds
• Better for complex action sequences and scene development
*Unified multimodal approach:*
• Integrates text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video
• Video modification and transformation in one model
• Native audio generation (synchronized with video)
*Two variants:*
• VIDEO 3.0 (upgraded from 2.6)
• VIDEO 3.0 Omni (upgraded from O1)
*Enhanced capabilities:*
• Improved subject consistency with reference-based generation
• Better prompt adherence and output stability
• More flexibility in storyboarding and shot control
This positions Kling competitively against:
- Runway Gen-4.5 ($95/month)
- Sora 2 (limited access)
- Veo 3.1 (Google)
- Grok Imagine (just topped rankings)
The 15-second duration is particularly interesting - enables more narrative storytelling vs the typical 5-second clips. Combined with native audio, this could change workflows for content creators.
Pricing isn't mentioned in the announcement. Previous Kling models ranged from $10-40/month, significantly cheaper than Runway.
Anyone have access to test this yet? Curious how the quality compares to Runway and Sora at this new duration.
