Kuaishou Tests likli, Kling 4.0 Set for October Launch

KEY FACTS

On September 28, Kuaishou's agent creation tool likli entered beta, positioned as a creation agent that delivers finished results.
On the same day, Kling announced that Kling 4.0 will launch in October, with a lightweight version opening to Black Gold annual card members that evening.
Kling 4.0 raises single native generation length to 30 seconds, and with continuation shooting a single video can run up to 2 minutes.
Kling 4.0 supports up to 10 keyframes and 8000 tokens of prompt input, plus 4K 10-bit HDR.
likli launched macOS and Windows clients with four pricing tiers, the base tier at about 3.3 yuan per use.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Kuaishou is pushing both the model and agent lines at once, which shows it understands that generation capability alone can no longer create separation. Industry competition is shifting from parameters to workflows and distribution, and Kuaishou's real trump card is its billion-user platform. likli did not arrive early, but whether it can push content into users' view is what will decide success or failure.
