Both are premium tiers with different centers of gravity. Kling 3.0 masters the product itself: material behavior, reflections, controlled motion, image-to-video that keeps your SKU exact. Veo 3.1 masters the world around it: natural light, believable environments, human-adjacent lifestyle scenes that read as shot footage. Product-hero shots lean Kling; product-in-life scenes lean Veo. Both belong on winners, not exploration.
