Kling 2.6

model version · in 22 sources (2025–2026)

A Kling video model that Adil, testing it in December 2025, rated best for intentional camera moves and body mechanics, and the best-value image-to-video model with native audio. Its audio trails Seedance 1.5 and Veo 3.1, and it can add speech unasked, so prompt it not to speak. Kling 3.0 overtook it in February 2026 on faces, acting and lip sync; it remains for 5–10 second clips and on the API at $0.07 per second.
