Kling Video Models Now Available
Kling video models are now integrated into Vercel's AI Gateway, making state-of-the-art video generation accessible through a unified API. This expansion includes the latest Kling 3.0 models alongside earlier versions, giving developers multiple options for performance and capability trade-offs.
Key Capabilities
Kling models are optimized for several video generation scenarios:
- Image-to-Video: Strong animation of still images into video clips with realistic motion and physics
- Multishot Narratives: Kling 3.0 can generate multi-scene videos from a single narrative prompt with intelligent shot composition
- High-Quality Output: Supports up to 1080p generation in pro mode
- Audio Generation: Creates synchronized sound effects and ambient audio alongside video
- Precise Control: First and last frame control allows developers to specify exact start and end frames for scene transitions
Getting Started
Video generation is available for Pro and Enterprise plan users and paid AI Gateway customers. Developers have two main integration paths:
- AI SDK 6: Use the
generateVideomethod for programmatic video generation with full control over model parameters and provider-specific options - AI Gateway Playground: A no-code interface for experimenting with video models, comparing providers, tweaking prompts, and downloading results directly from the browser
Available Models
The service offers six Kling model variants across different generations and use cases:
| Model | Type | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Kling v3.0 Text-to-Video | Latest generation | Multishot support, highest quality |
| Kling v3.0 Image-to-Video | Latest generation | Multiple frame control with v3 quality |
| Kling v2.6 Text-to-Video | Production-ready | Audio generation support |
| Kling v2.6 Image-to-Video | Production-ready | Image reference with audio |
| Kling v2.5 Turbo Text-to-Video | Speed-optimized | Faster generation times |
| Kling v2.5 Turbo Image-to-Video | Speed-optimized | Faster generation for images |
Usage Examples
The AI SDK provides straightforward integration for common workflows. Simple text-to-video generation requires only a prompt and basic parameters like aspect ratio and duration. Advanced multishot narratives can be created by structuring prompts as multi-scene stories and enabling Kling-specific options like intelligent shot composition and synchronized audio. For precise scene transitions, developers can provide both start and end frame images to control exactly how videos begin and conclude.
