Production notes
Every price on this page is the model's published rate from the live Runware catalog, using the cheapest listed configuration unless stated otherwise. Prices vary with resolution, duration, quality tier, or token volume, so check the pricing table on each model page before estimating unit economics.
The Runware catalog does not publish per-model latency figures, so this page does not quote end-to-end timings. Where a model's own description commits to speed (for example sub-second generation or realtime streaming), that claim is repeated here. For anything else, benchmark the exact models in the Playground with your own payload sizes before committing to an SLA.
Models are addressed by versioned AIR identifiers, so a workflow pinned to specific model versions keeps producing the same behaviour as new versions ship. Adopt upgrades deliberately by re-running your evaluation set against the new version before switching production traffic.
About this collection
High-end video generation with strong motion coherence. Production-grade 4K variants, image-to-video pipelines, and avatar generation. This page lists every Kling model available through the Runware API, published by Kling AI.
Membership is derived from the live Runware catalog: the 20 models on this page are the catalog's current Kling releases, ordered by the catalog's own editorial weight and release date. Names, descriptions, pricing, capability chips, samples, and guides are all read live from the catalog — nothing here is hand-curated, and new Kling releases join automatically when they land on Runware.
Everything on this page re-derives from the catalog on every visit. When Kling AI ships a new Kling model on Runware it appears here with no editorial lag; deprecated versions remain listed with their live status chip so version pins stay auditable.
