Kling AI releases version 4.0 video generator with stereo audio and longer clips

Kling AI has launched version 4.0 of its video generation model, introducing support for longer clips up to 30 seconds and enhanced prompt comprehension with an 8,000-token limit. This update also includes stereo audio and multilingual lip-sync capabilities, along with a lighter "Flash" variant. While Kling 4.0 performs competitively against other leading models like Wan 3.0 and Seedance 2.5, it does not significantly surpass them, suggesting a potential stabilization in the rapid advancement of AI video generation.
