Published availability regions
us-east-1, us-west-2Source for Published availability regions (opens in a new tab)

Published model regions are not a processing-location guarantee for the global endpoint.

Published request quota
10 requests/secondSource for Published request quota (opens in a new tab)

Published card quota; team-specific rate limits may differ.

Video duration
1–15 secondsSource for Video duration (opens in a new tab)

Reference-to-video is capped at 10 seconds on grok-imagine-video; source editing is capped at 8.7 seconds.

Output resolutions
480p, 720p, 1080pSource for Output resolutions (opens in a new tab)

1080p is upscaled from 720p.

Access & pricing

Prices belong to an endpoint and billing tier. A provider listing does not guarantee access for every account or region.

Access
API account required. Model access and quotas depend on the team and location.
Regions
Global endpoint; processing location is not guaranteed.

Data & enterprise terms

Provider documents no training on API inputs or outputs without explicit permission, and default 30-day audit retention. Team-level zero data retention changes available features; consult the linked policy for scope and exceptions.

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say

No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.

Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.

The record behind the model

Why it is included

Developer-documented proprietary hosted Grok release. No public weights identified for this release in the reviewed documentation; public Grok 1 and Grok 2 base-weight releases are excluded.
