Introducing Kuaishou Kling Video O1 Reference To Video on WaveSpeedAI

Kling Omni Video O1 Reference-to-Video Now Available on WaveSpeedAI

The future of AI video generation has arrived. WaveSpeedAI is proud to announce the immediate availability of Kling Omni Video O1 Reference-to-Video—a groundbreaking capability from Kuaishou’s revolutionary unified multimodal video model that’s redefining what’s possible in AI-powered content creation.

Launched on December 1, 2025, Kling O1 represents the world’s first unified multimodal video model, and its Reference-to-Video capability stands as one of its most powerful features. This technology enables creators to generate entirely new video content while maintaining perfect identity consistency for characters, props, and scenes across every frame.

What is Kling O1 Reference-to-Video?

Kling O1 Reference-to-Video is a sophisticated AI system that extracts subject features from reference images—whether they’re characters, products, or scene elements—and generates new video content while preserving those features with remarkable stability.

Unlike traditional video generation tools that struggle with identity drift and consistency issues, Kling O1’s Reference-to-Video mode acts like a skilled human director who “remembers” your main characters, props, and scenes. Even as camera angles change, actions evolve, and environments shift, the key subject features remain stable throughout the generated video.

The technology is built on Kuaishou’s innovative Multimodal Visual Language (MVL) framework, which transcends the boundaries of traditional single-task video generation. This unified architecture consolidates what previously required multiple specialized tools into a single, cohesive workflow.

Key Features and Capabilities

Multi-Reference Subject Building

Upload up to 9 reference images to build comprehensive subject profiles
Capture subjects from multiple viewpoints for enhanced identity accuracy
Works with characters, products, objects, and scene elements
Combine multiple subjects in a single generation

Unmatched Identity Consistency

Facial features remain stable across all generated frames
Clothing, accessories, and props maintain their appearance
Subject characteristics persist even during dynamic camera movements
Complex multi-subject scenes handled with precision

Chain-of-Thought Reasoning

Kling O1 employs advanced Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning before rendering. The model “thinks through” your prompt in steps, resulting in:

Superior motion accuracy
More precise prompt interpretation
Natural physics simulation
Coherent narrative flow

Flexible Output Options

Generate videos from 3 to 10 seconds per request
Support for both image and video references
High-resolution output suitable for professional use
Seamless integration with text prompts for creative direction

Industry-Leading Performance

According to internal benchmarks, Kling O1 demonstrates a 247% performance win ratio versus Google Veo 3.1 in image reference tasks. This exceptional performance comes from its unified architecture that consolidates 18+ video generation and editing tasks into a single model—while competitors typically require separate tools for different functions.

Real-World Use Cases

Brand and Marketing Content

Transform product photos into dynamic video advertisements. Upload reference images of your product from multiple angles, describe the scenario you want, and generate professional marketing videos that maintain perfect product consistency throughout.

Character-Driven Storytelling

Create narrative content with consistent characters across multiple scenes. Whether you’re producing animated shorts, educational content, or social media series, your characters will look the same from the first frame to the last.

Virtual Influencers and Digital Humans

Build and deploy virtual personalities with unprecedented consistency. Reference images of your digital character can be transformed into engaging video content for any platform, maintaining the distinctive features that define your virtual brand ambassador.

E-Commerce and Product Visualization

Generate lifestyle videos featuring your products in various settings. A single product photoshoot can fuel endless video variations—your product on a beach, in a modern kitchen, or floating in space—while maintaining perfect visual fidelity.

Content Repurposing and Localization

Take existing character assets and place them in new scenarios without costly reshoots. Localize content for different markets by generating new backgrounds and environments while keeping your core subjects consistent.

Game and Entertainment Pre-visualization

Concept artists and game developers can bring character designs to life, testing animations and scenarios before committing to full production pipelines.

Pro Tips for Best Results

Use multiple reference angles: Front, side, and three-quarter views dramatically improve identity capture
Prioritize image quality: Clear, high-resolution references produce better results
Be descriptive with prompts: Clearly articulate actions, environments, and desired camera movements
Start simple: Test with straightforward scenarios before attempting complex multi-subject generations

The Competitive Advantage

In a landscape populated by capable competitors like Runway Gen-4, Google Veo 3.1, and Sora 2, Kling O1 Reference-to-Video distinguishes itself through its unified architecture. Where other platforms require switching between different tools for generation, editing, and consistency management, Kling O1 handles it all within a single model.

The result is not just convenience—it’s coherence. Workflows that previously involved multiple handoffs and potential quality degradation now flow seamlessly from reference to finished video.
