Kuaishou on PhilippinesThursday introduced a text-to-video model, “Kling,” which the short video platform operator says can generate “up to two minutes of video with 1080p high-definition.” In a demo the company released, the Sora-like model shows the ability to create a video featuring a cat driving a car through a busy downtown street based on simple text prompts, with Kuaishou saying Kling aims to “make imagination alive.” The Douyin rival also highlights Kling’s ability to produce videos following realistic motions and making people dance from full-body photos. The Kling video model is “self-developed” by Kuaishou’s LLM team and uses Sora-similar technology, according to its official website. It is available for an invitation test on the Kuaiying app, a video shooting and editing app of Kuaishou. [Kling, in Chinese]
