Grok Imagine 1.0 Released With 10-Second 720p Video · Chronopin

Video model rubric2026 criteria

Estimate from the version's published specs and reviews, 0-5; scores are only comparable within one criteria year. Scored as launched (1.0, 2 Feb 2026). Resolution 3: 720p. Duration 4: the apps cap at 10 s per xAI's post but the same model allowed 15 s through the API (DeepLearning.AI), so the longest single clip is 15 s. Audio 5: expressive character voices and synced music, though TechSpot says lip-sync is still imperfect. Control 3: text, one image and input video for editing, no multi-reference input. Speed 2.5: Artificial Analysis 110.1 s per video (length unspecified) against xAI's later '40+ s for a 6 s 720p clip'; midpoint used. Realism 3.5: top of the Artificial Analysis blind-vote board for both modes at launch, but TechSpot and Analytics Vidhya describe visible flaws and lip-sync trouble, and the model was only fourth for text-to-video on Arena; the reviews are mixed press plus one how-to blog, with no tier-1 hands-on comparison.^[1]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.

It is the app-side name for the model xAI had opened to developers on 28 January: expressive character voices, music that syncs to the scene, longer clips and better prompt following, including with follow-up prompts^[2][4]
Artificial Analysis ranked it first for text-to-video and image-to-video ahead of Veo 3.1 and Sora 2 Pro, and LM Arena put it first for image-to-video (1,400 Elo) but fourth for text-to-video^[4]
TechSpot's look at the demo clips said lip-syncing 'remains a challenge', and a Capcom creator reported a cartoon/real hybrid clip 'gets very messy' by 10 seconds^[2]; Analytics Vidhya's two test prompts gave good audio but 'far from perfect' video^[3]
The release came days after xAI was acquired by SpaceX, which TechSpot noted alongside the launch^[2]
