Grok Video

model family · in 34 sources (2026)

Grok Video, also called Grok Imagine, is xAI's video model family, on Higgsfield since January 2026 and praised for natural voices, expressive faces and believable physics. Version 1.5, added in 2026, generates sound with the picture and suits talking heads and animated stills; a 10-second 1080p clip costs 80 credits, with a cheaper Lite variant for drafts. It handles one beat per clip, so complex choreography goes to other models, and Grok is the one model whose failed generations are still charged.
