About Grok Imagine 1.5 Lite

Grok Imagine 1.5 Lite is the low-cost version of xAI's Grok Imagine 1.5, priced at $0.050 per second. It keeps the same controls: text to video and image to video, sound, lengths up to 15 seconds, 480p, 720p and 1080p and 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2 and 2:3.

The price curve is uneven. The lower resolutions cost little per second, and 1080p jumps far higher, so the length and resolution you pick matter more here than on most models. The longest clip at the default resolution costs $1.13. A typical generation takes about 1 min.
