Chinese tech company Kuaishou has released a new version of its AI video generator KLING. Version 1.5 introduces higher resolution capabilities and new features.
The updated KLING 1.5 now allows users to create videos in 1080p HD resolution in professional mode. Kuaishou reports that the new model significantly improves image quality, dynamics, and prompt relevance compared to its predecessor. Internal testing shows a 95% performance increase over the previous version.
Sample videos demonstrate the enhanced image quality and detail in version 1.5. One example displays a woman in a nighttime city scene, with the new version showing sharper contours and more realistic lighting. Another video compares the depiction of a monkey, with the updated version featuring finer fur textures and more expressive facial features.
