Kuaishou (Kling)
Kling video, image and voice models, with creative and commerce media APIs from Kuaishou.
Current Kling capability maps, historical API releases and named managed media services reviewed. Original public-weight Kolors excluded. Archival limits, private models, regional catalogs and KwaiYii remain under review.
Start with the job your model needs to do. Then narrow by capabilities, provider and price.
Compare every model with the same request.
Estimate = (input tokens × input price + output tokens × output price) / 1,000,000. Include conversation history in input and billed reasoning in output. Input-only decision models ignore the output setting; enter all billed input for one decision, including its question and criteria. Media, tools and discounts are separate.
