A family of video models. Better than most at natural human motion: walking, facial expression, turns of the head.

When to pick it
- Bring a portrait or an old photo to life — any i2v version; use 2.5 Turbo for drafts.
- A clip from scratch out of text — Kling 3.0.
- A precise "frame A to frame B" transformation — 2.5 Turbo: it has a tail image and prompt adherence.
Tip
Describe motion in the prompt ("slowly turns her head and smiles"), not appearance — appearance is already set by the photo. Billing is per second, so keep drafts short.
