# Kling video models on AI Gateway **Published:** February 19, 2026 | **Authors:** Walter Korman , Jeremy Philemon, Matt Lenhard, Jerilyn Zheng --- Kling video models are now available in AI Gateway, including the newest Kling 3.0 models. Generate cinematic videos from text, images, or motion references with Kling's state-of-the-art video models, now available through AI Gateway and AI SDK. Kling models are known for their image to video models and multishot capabilities: - **Image-to-Video Capabilities**: Strong at animating still images into video clips - **Realistic Motion and Physics**: Known for coherent motion, facial expressions, and physical interactions - **High Resolution Output**: Supports up to 1080p generation (pro mode) - **Multishot Narratives**: Kling 3.0 can generate multi-scene videos from a single narrative prompt - **Audio Generation**: Create synchronized sound effects and ambient audio alongside your video - **First & Last Frame Control**: Specify both start and end frames for precise scene transitions [Video: kling sample reel](//videos.ctfassets.net/e5382hct74si/45UcXHDeD9a75qAdcwXRoY/34f365de2ea70d8bdf6ac0e81e4bc4da/kling-edited-reel.mov) ## Two ways to get started Video generation is in beta and currently available for Pro and Enterprise plans and paid AI Gateway users. - **AI SDK 6**: Generate videos programmatically AI SDK 6's `generateVideo`. ```tsx import { experimental_generateVideo as generateVideo } from 'ai'; const { videos } = await generateVideo({ model: 'klingai/kling-v2.6-t2v', prompt: 'A chef plates a dessert with caramel drizzle. Kitchen ambiance.', }); ``` - **Gateway Playground**: Experiment with video models with no code in the configurable [AI Gateway playground](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/kling-v3.0-t2v) that's embedded in each model page. Compare providers, tweak prompts, and download results without writing code.

[Video: kling cherry blososm](//videos.ctfassets.net/e5382hct74si/6Z4Ls0UQgoHhpJeJBaF4cU/8e203abd31fa5a2903e8590b6030742c/03-cherry-blossom.mp4) In this example, model `klingai/kling-v3.0-t2v` is used to generate a video of a cherry blossom tree with no inputs other than a simple text prompt. ```tsx import { experimental_generateVideo as generateVideo } from 'ai'; const { videos } = await generateVideo({ model: 'klingai/kling-v3.0-t2v', prompt: `Cherry blossom petals falling in slow motion through golden sunlight, Japanese garden with a stone lantern, peaceful atmosphere, cinematic`, aspectRatio: '16:9', duration: 5, providerOptions: { klingai: { mode: 'pro', }, }, }); ``` ## Advanced: Multishot Video Generate a narrative video with multiple scenes with only a single prompt. Using Kling 3.0's multishot feature, the model intelligently cuts between shots to tell a complete story: [Video: kling multi shot](//videos.ctfassets.net/e5382hct74si/4Y8ZngAaKsEC38pAxFVFbH/cfa7f25886e3c314d4a468782feab71b/savanna-storm.mp4) The prompt is written as a narrative with multiple distinct scenes for the best results. `shotType: 'intelligence'` lets the model decide optimal shot composition and `sound: 'on'` generates synchronized audio for the entire video. Note that the prompt here is in the `providerOptions` since this functionality is specific to Kling. The Kling 3.0 models support this functionality: here `klingai/kling-v3.0-t2v` is used. ```tsx import { experimental_generateVideo as generateVideo } from 'ai'; const { videos } = await generateVideo({ model: 'klingai/kling-v3.0-t2v', prompt: '', aspectRatio: '16:9', duration: 10, providerOptions: { klingai: { mode: 'pro', multiShot: true, shotType: 'intelligence', prompt: `Elephants walk across a golden savanna under gathering storm clouds. Lightning cracks in the distance. Rain begins to fall heavily. The herd finds shelter under acacia trees. The storm clears revealing a double rainbow.`, sound: 'on', }, }, }); ``` ## Advanced: First & Last Frame Control Control exactly how your video starts and ends by providing both a first frame and last frame image. This is perfect for time-lapse effects or precise scene transitions: [Video: flower kling i2v](//videos.ctfassets.net/e5382hct74si/5QRByBqOcxRyYYJve2DKEj/254e1411774622e785739651ad0f6ef9/flower-bloom-1770950527080-0.mp4) These 2 images were provided as start and end frames. ![Group images flowers](//images.ctfassets.net/e5382hct74si/7rNmMOnFcjbH73BbQMsncd/b990d46d3751c94bc426675f6e2dad07/Group_1__2_.png) Using AI SDK 6, you can set `image` and `lastFrameImage` with your start and end frames. In this example, `klingai/kling-v3.0-i2v` is used for the model. ```tsx import { experimental_generateVideo as generateVideo } from 'ai'; const { videos } = await generateVideo({ model: 'klingai/kling-v3.0-i2v', prompt: { image: startImage, text: `Time-lapse of a pink peony flower blooming. The tight bud slowly unfurls, petals gently separating and opening outward. Smooth organic movement. Soft natural lighting.`, }, duration: 10, providerOptions: { klingai: { lastFrameImage: endImage, mode: 'pro', }, }, }); ``` ## Learn More For more examples and detailed configuration options for Kling models, check out the [Video Generation Documentation](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/capabilities/video-generation).
