xAI Adds Budget Tier to Grok Imagine Video 1.5: AI Video Generation from 2 Cents a Second
xAI added a Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite tier to its Imagine API docs — 2 cents per second at 480p, 3 cents at 720p. The 720p price is one-fifth of the full version and under one-third of Kling 3.0 Turbo.
xAI on October 12 launched The X Subscription, a single plan combining Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor, and X Premium. New customers can sign up now; the rollout goes global over the coming days.
At a New York City Council hearing, Speaker Julie Menin displayed a sexualized image of herself that she said Grok generated in under 30 seconds, directly contradicting a SpaceXAI representative's testimony about strict controls. A former employee also testified about safety concerns and retaliation.
Elon Musk says SpaceX will make users whole if Grok Bot makes a purchase mistake or leaks card data. The guarantee is vague, and it contradicts standard AI agent terms.
