About Grok Imagine Video 1.5
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 is xAI's video model, documented in the xAI developer docs as grok-imagine-video-1.5 and also shipped inside the Grok apps. The developer docs state no release date; xAI's own news post announcing the model is dated 16 June 2026, so the release cell cites that post directly. [2]
The documented envelope is native 1080p text-to-video, clips up to fifteen seconds with native audio, and all three modes including editing. [1] It is the only entry here from a vendor whose main product is a general assistant rather than a dedicated creative tool, which makes it a useful opponent for the specialist models in a blind comparison.
“On grok-imagine-video-1.5, text-to-video supports native 1080p”
