6 Kling AI Models Compared: Standard, Pro & 4K
Compare six Kling v3 and O3 models across Standard, Pro, and native 4K tiers.
Kuaishou's Kling lineup on Melies now covers six choices across v3 and O3. Standard models keep costs lower, Pro models prioritize fidelity and control, and the new V3 4K and O3 4K endpoints produce native 4K video without a separate upscaling step.
V3 focuses on realistic cinematic output and multi-shot storytelling. O3 adds broader reference workflows for stylized and appearance-consistent generation. Both native 4K models support three to fifteen second clips, image input, and optional synchronized audio.
All six Kling models use shared Melies credits. Compare Standard and Pro while iterating, then select a 4K tier when final delivery resolution matters.
