If you’ve been losing sleep over losing all your work to AI generators, then I’m afraid this latest AI video generator isn’t going to help you sleep more easily. Chinese created Kling is a front-runner in rivals to OpenAI’s Sora, and it looks very convincing so far.
Kling was developed by Kuaishou, a Chinese tech company with an app similar to TikTok. And it’s already here, and already available (if you speak Mandarin and have a Chinese phone number at least).
Kling can generate videos up to two minutes long in 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second. That already blows other gen video creators like Pika and Runway out of the water. And it’s double what Sora can apparently cope with.
Sora by OpenAI is insane.But KWAI just dropped a Sora-like model called KLING, and people are going crazy over it. Here are 10 wild examples you don’t want to miss: 1. A Chinese man sits at a table and eats noodles with chopstickspic.twitter.com/MIV5IP3fyQ— Angry Tom (@AngryTomtweets) June 6, 2024
In order to create the extreme naturalistic body movements, Kling uses advanced 3D face and body reconstruction technology. There appear to be few issues with extra limbs and fingers, and missing body parts.
It also seems to excel at following prompts closely, and creating a series of shots that have clear continuity, something that other AI video generators have lacked so far. Even the early creators that tested Sora found themselves resorting to traditional film and editing techniques to achieve the desired level of continuity.

Early users have released demos of Kling, and the results are worryingly impressive. It’s currently only available within China on beta release via a waiting list. However, the company is planning to roll out Kling for worldwide use eventually.
