Introducing Kuaishou Kling Video O1 Std Image-to-Video on WaveSpeedAI

Kling Omni Video O1 Image-to-Video Is Now Live on WaveSpeedAI

The future of AI video generation has arrived. We’re thrilled to announce that Kling Omni Video O1 Image-to-Video (Standard) is now available on WaveSpeedAI, bringing Kuaishou’s groundbreaking unified multimodal video model directly to your creative workflow.

Launched as the world’s first unified multimodal video model, Kling O1 represents a paradigm shift in how AI handles video generation. Rather than switching between fragmented tools for different tasks, this model consolidates generation, editing, and comprehension into a single cohesive engine—and now you can access it through WaveSpeedAI’s lightning-fast API.

What is Kling Omni Video O1?

Kling O1 is Kuaishou’s next-generation video foundation model, powered by a revolutionary Multimodal Transformer architecture with built-in multimodal comprehension. The Image-to-Video mode transforms your static images into dynamic, high-quality video sequences while maintaining remarkable subject consistency and visual coherence.

What sets this model apart is its “director-like memory”—a critical advancement that addresses one of AI video’s most persistent challenges. The model retains the identity of main characters, props, and settings, ensuring feature stability even amidst dynamic camera movements and scene transitions. No more characters changing appearance mid-video or inconsistent lighting breaking immersion.

With over 6 million users globally since Kling AI’s initial launch in June 2024, Kuaishou has continuously refined their technology. The O1 series represents the culmination of this development, delivering what internal benchmarks claim is a 247% performance win ratio compared to Google Veo 3.1’s image reference capabilities.

Key Features

Subject Identity Preservation: Upload a reference image and watch the model maintain consistent character features, outfits, and props throughout the entire video sequence
Natural Motion Synthesis: Advanced physics simulation creates realistic movement that respects gravity, momentum, and natural body mechanics
Temporal Consistency: Stable visuals across every frame—no flickering, morphing, or jarring transitions
Flexible Duration Control: Generate videos from 3 to 10 seconds when using reference frames, with adaptive length optimization for each scene
Cinematic Camera Dynamics: Smooth camera movements and professional framing that elevate your content to production quality
Real-World Physics Understanding: Objects interact naturally with their environment, creating believable scene dynamics

The Standard tier is specifically optimized for cost efficiency and stable production use, making it ideal for teams running large-scale generation workflows without sacrificing quality.

Use Cases

Marketing and Advertising

Transform product photography into engaging video content. A static hero shot becomes a dynamic showcase with natural lighting changes, subtle product rotation, or contextual environment animation. Perfect for social media campaigns, e-commerce listings, and digital advertising where video consistently outperforms static images.

Content Creation at Scale

Social media managers and content creators can rapidly generate video variations from existing image assets. Take a single high-quality photograph and produce multiple video interpretations with different motion styles, camera angles, or atmospheric effects—all while maintaining brand consistency.

Storyboarding and Pre-visualization

Filmmakers and creative directors can bring storyboard frames to life before committing to expensive production shoots. Test scene dynamics, evaluate camera movements, and present concepts to stakeholders with animated previews that communicate vision far more effectively than static images.

Character Animation

Game developers, animators, and digital artists can animate character artwork while preserving the exact visual style and identity of their creations. The model’s subject consistency ensures your character looks identical whether walking, running, or performing complex actions.

E-commerce Product Videos

Online retailers can convert product photography into dynamic video content that shows items in use, demonstrates features through motion, or creates atmospheric lifestyle presentations—all without the overhead of traditional video production.

Getting Started on WaveSpeedAI

Getting up and running with Kling O1 Image-to-Video takes just minutes:

Prepare Your Image: Select a high-quality source image with the subject clearly visible. The model works best with well-lit, properly composed photographs.
