Kling O3
What is Kling O3?
Kling O3 is the top-of-the-range version of Kling that can generate 4K videos with multiple camera cuts, matching sound, and the ability to copy a real person's appearance and voice from a reference video and recreate them consistently across new AI-generated scenes.

How it compares
Compared with related concepts
Kling O3 vs Kling 3. 0: Both share the same multi-shot storyboarding, native audio, and MVL framework; Kling O3 adds video-based character and voice reference extraction for maximum consistency across complex multi-scene productions and extends output to 4K at 60fps, making it the more powerful choice when subject fidelity and output quality are paramount.
Pro tip
When using Kling O3's reference video extraction for character cloning, record or select a reference clip that shows the character in neutral lighting with clear facial visibility and a passage of natural speech: the cleaner the reference, the more accurately the model will extract and replicate vocal timbre, speech rhythm, and visual appearance across newly generated scenes.

FAQs
O3 stands for Omni 3, reflecting that Kling O3 is the third iteration of Kuaishou's Omni multimodal model line. It follows Kling O1 and represents a significant advancement over its predecessor in audio capability, resolution, and reference-based generation.
Kling O3 was released as part of the Kling AI 3.0 model series on 4 February 2026.
Visual Chain-of-Thought (vCoT) reasoning means the model analyses and plans a scene before generating it. It breaks down the prompt into its component elements, plans camera movements, evaluates lighting consistency, and models spatial relationships: then uses this pre-generation reasoning to produce more coherent and physically accurate video output.
Kling O3 can accept a reference video as an input and use it to extract a character's visual appearance, movement style, vocal characteristics, and speech rhythm. These extracted traits are then applied consistently across newly generated scenes, enabling highly faithful character replication without re-prompting appearance details for each shot.
Kling O3 supports output up to native 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, making it one of the highest-quality outputs available in an AI video generation model as of early 2026.
Kling O3 supports multiple languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish, with regional accent support including American, British, and Indian English variants.
Kling O1 pioneered the unified MVL multimodal architecture and introduced the reference-based Elements system. Kling O3 significantly expands on this with native audio generation, extended clip duration to 15 seconds, 4K resolution, multi-shot storyboarding up to 6 cuts, and the ability to extract both visual and voice characteristics from reference videos: capabilities that were not available in O1.
