Kling AI launches Kling 4.0 with native 30-second video generation

Kling is now racing rivals like Veo and Seedance on workflow depth and control, not just visual quality.

• Kling AI launched Kling 4.0 globally on October 15, 2026, a next-generation multimodal video model that generates a single continuous 30-second clip in one pass.
• Kling AI is a video-generation platform that now serves more than 100 million users across 224 countries and over 50,000 enterprise customers.
• The model adds up to 10 keyframes and 15 combined reference assets (images, videos, elements, voice styles), plus stereo audio with accurate lip sync and 4K/1080p output, with 10-bit HDR coming soon.
• Kling 4.0 ships through a redesigned creation interface plus Model Context Protocol and command-line access for agent- and terminal-driven workflows, while enterprise API access remains upcoming.
• Kling AI reports roughly $500 million in annual revenue and more than 30 major model iterations since its debut.
• Two ads made with Kling AI won Gold Lions at this summer's Cannes Lions festival, which judged AI-generated work for the first time.
• By emphasizing control density over raw clip quality, Kling 4.0 pushes AI video toward directed, repeatable production workflows, positioning it against Veo, Seedance, and Hailuo in the race for professional film, TV, and ad production.
