Grok Imagine Video 1.5 on AI Gateway
xAI's Grok Imagine Video 1.5 is now available on Vercel's AI Gateway. This model generates video from an input image with synchronized audio in a single pass. The release improves audio quality, prompt following, and photorealism. Face accuracy and character consistency are stronger across longer sequences, with better lighting and physical realism. Reference image support has been expanded for more control over visual style and subject. To use the model, developers set the model to `xai/grok-imagine-video-1.5-preview` in the AI SDK. They can chain an image model with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 to generate a still and animate it in one flow. The model can also be tried directly in the AI Gateway Playground. AI Gateway provides a unified API for calling models, tracking usage and cost, and configuring retries, failover, and performance optimizations for higher uptime. It includes custom reporting, zero data retention support, and dynamic provider sorting by latency and cost. AI Gateway reflects provider pricing with no markup and does not charge a platform fee on inference, including on Bring Your Own Key requests.
Simplifies video generation from images with audio, reducing pipeline complexity for developers.
