Kling AI launches 4.0 video model with stereo audio

Video generator Kling AI has released version 4.0, which the company says can make up to 30 seconds of video in one pass. It adds two-channel stereo audio and improved lip sync across more than ten languages, including English, German, Japanese and Spanish. A lighter Flash variant tops out at 720p and 20 seconds. Pricing for the 4.0 API hasn't been announced, and Australian availability isn't mentioned.

Why it matters: If you make product videos or ads, hold off budgeting for Kling 4.0, as its API price is still unannounced. Australian pricing and availability are also unknown.
