Enhanced Performance with Greater Affordability

The new model's overall performance showed significant improvements across multiple dimensions, including prompt adherence, motion performance, style consistency and aesthetic quality.

In prompt adherence, the new model further elevated prompt comprehension capabilities, enabling it to handle complex multi-step instructions and causal relationships more comprehensively with greater precision. Users can now more effectively control dynamic video progression, character interactions and scene transitions through descriptive prompts. As a result, generated videos follow temporal logic more closely, render more subtle facial expressions, and convey richer dramatic tension. The combination of these enhancements aligns video output more accurately with creators’ visions and expectations, achieving sharper and more expressive creative storytelling.

Complex Micro-Expression Semantic Adherence with Streamlined Prompts

Kling AI 2.5 Turbo Video Model can generate more dynamic motion and camera movement with greater amplitude, while more accurately simulating real-world physics to produce smoother, more stable visuals. For instance, the new model delivers superior high-motion scenes, like combat and running with camera tracking, as well as complex action scenes, such as figure skating, synchronized swimming and group dance.

Significantly Enhanced Motion Quality with Streamlined Prompts

In terms of style consistency and aesthetic quality, the new model more accurately captures the artistic style of reference images, demonstrating significant improvements in maintaining stylistic consistency. It can faithfully identify elements from reference images, including color, lighting, texture and overall atmosphere, ensuring generated videos more precisely retain the visual characteristics of the source images. The model also achieves greater aesthetic appeal, particularly in lighting and composition, resulting in outputs with greater visual coherence and impact.

Breakthrough Enhancement in Composition and Lighting with Streamlined Prompts

Kling AI 2.5 Turbo Video Model is now available at a significantly reduced price, nearly 30% lower than its 2.1 predecessor. Each five-second 1080p video is now 25 credits, down from 35 credits. This pricing shift makes advanced AI video generation more accessible, empowering creators worldwide to tell their stories with greater freedom and scale.

Deepened Commitment to Empowering Content Creators

This launch reinforces the AI-powered creative platform’s commitment to empowering content creators worldwide, further enhancing the controllability, stability, and consistency of video generation. These improvements lay the groundwork for its broader application in professional creative scenarios such as film and television, short play, gaming, animation, and advertising, while also providing creators with superior video generation solutions. Since its debut in June last year, Kling AI has undergone over 30 iterations focused on enhancing the fundamental quality of its models and introducing more innovative features to meet diverse user needs.

Kling AI also powered New World Is Loading, the world’s first AI-generated series, which has surpassed 200 million views. Kling AI was recently invited to preview its 2.5 Turbo Video Model at the Busan International Film Festival’s Asian Contents & Film Market (ACFM).

Looking ahead, Kling AI will continue to enhance the foundational quality of its models and develop innovative features to build a one-stop creative engine. This will address the diverse needs of more creators, empowering everyone to “tell compelling stories with AI.”
