Introducing Kling 2.6: VideoGen’s new audio-ready AI video model

AI video models are evolving at an incredible pace, but the most significant advancements are currently occurring in video and audio generation. Just days after Kling O1 landed, Kling.ai has released Kling 2.6, a major upgrade that introduces native audio and speech capabilities. 

Because Kling’s earlier non-audio models (such as 2.5) performed so well, this new audio-ready version is especially important for creators, particularly when compared to models like Google’s Veo 3.1.

With Kling 2.6 now powering Envato VideoGen, alongside Kling O1, Veo 3.1, and other leading AI video models, subscribers benefit from smoother synchronization between visuals and audio, better prompt understanding, and more coherent scene construction.

Let’s take a closer look at what Kling 2.6 brings under the hood.

Kling 2.6 is the latest AI video model from Kling.ai, designed to generate short, high-resolution clips that include:

Instead of tacking on audio afterward, Kling 2.6 generates sound together with the visuals, making clips feel more coherent and cinematic.

Kling 2.6 isn’t just another model running under the hood of VideoGen. It enables Envato’s AI video generator to produce complete, synchronized clips that combine visuals, narration, sound effects, and ambience in a single pass.

Kling 2.6 can produce fully synchronized audio that aligns with visual motion. 

It supports:

This enables “one prompt → finished clip” workflows with no manual audio editing required.

You can achieve more accurate and consistent results without having to endlessly simplify prompts.

Kling 2.6 represents a significant leap forward for creators, delivering faster content creation, richer storytelling, and polished results without the need to juggle additional tools. With full audio and speech generation, high-quality video output, stronger prompt comprehension, and a true “one-prompt → finished clip” workflow, it streamlines production in a way that feels genuinely transformative.
