Meet the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Model on Venice
Built as the entry point of the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 lineup — low-cost, sound-first, and served through Venice's private tier by default.
- An Entry Point into the 1.5 LineupxAI positions it as the most affordable way into the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 range, sitting below the flagship Grok Imagine 1.5 — it has been live on Venice since September 30, 2026.
- Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video in One ModelIt arrives as two endpoints — grok-imagine-1-5-lite-text-to-video and grok-imagine-1-5-lite-image-to-video — so you can build a shot from words or set an uploaded photo in motion, through the app or the Venice API.
- Nothing Stored, Nothing Trained OnVenice runs it on the private tier, which retains nothing: written prompts and uploaded stills are never archived, profiled or folded into a training set, and no generation log is linked back to you.
From Idea to Finished Clip with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite
A short workflow that carries you from a rough idea to a finished, sound-complete clip on Venice.
What Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Brings to the Table
Sound generated in the same pass, a 480p-to-1080p ladder with one-second duration control, and zero-retention privacy on Venice.
Audio Born with the Picture
Ambience, effects and spoken lines land together with the visuals in a single pass, timed to what happens on screen — so there is no separate sound build to schedule.
Any Length from 1s to 15s, Three Resolutions
Three resolutions plus any duration between 1 and 15 seconds in one-second steps on both variants — rare granularity at this price point.
Animate One Still Photo
Bring an existing product shot, portrait or illustration to life at up to 1080p and 15 seconds by describing the motion rather than re-describing the picture.
Steadier, More Believable Motion
xAI's release notes report fewer warps and more convincing weight and momentum across a clip than the previous generation.
Queue Renders from Your Own Code
Venice publishes the model over its REST API, so you can fire off a generation with the model id and the inputs it expects straight from your application.
Private Tier with Nothing Retained
Prompts and source images are never stored, profiled or used for training, and nothing links back to a personal generation history — unlike xAI's own account-bound libraries.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite: Your Questions Answered
Answers to the questions people ask most about generating with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite on Venice.
So what is Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite?
It is the most lightweight tier in xAI's Grok Imagine Video 1.5 lineup, live on Venice since September 30, 2026, offered as text-to-video and image-to-video variants at 480p, 720p or 1080p, running 1 to 15 seconds, with audio generated natively.
How much does a clip cost, and is a subscription required?
Pricing is per clip and rises with resolution and length: $0.04 for a 1s 480p render, $0.05 for 720p at 1s and $0.18 for 1080p at 1s, scaling up to 15 seconds. There is no subscription, and new Venice accounts come with a free daily allowance plus 500 welcome credits.
Can I self-host it, or is it open source?
Neither — the model is proprietary to xAI and no weights have been published, so self-hosting and fine-tuning are off the table. On Venice you can test it with welcome credits before paying per clip; if open weights matter, Wan 2.7 Enhanced is the nearest open option with native audio.
Does it work with a still image?
Yes. The grok-imagine-1-5-lite-image-to-video variant sets a photo in motion at 480p, 720p or 1080p for 1–15 seconds with audio, while grok-imagine-1-5-lite-text-to-video builds a clip from a written prompt on its own.
What separates the Lite tier from the flagship Grok Imagine 1.5?
Both deliver 1080p, 15-second clips with native audio and run privately on Venice, but the flagship supports multi-reference control — up to seven image references and voice references that hold a character's face and voice across scenes. Lite works from one still or a prompt.
What happens to my data when I generate?
Rendering takes place on the private tier, which keeps nothing: prompts and reference stills are not archived, profiled or reused for training, and no history is tied to your identity — consistent with Venice's encrypted-in-browser, decentralized architecture.
Generate Privately with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite
Your prompts are never logged and your images never train a model — try the text-to-video and image-to-video variants on Venice, where new accounts receive a free daily allowance plus 500 welcome credits and no card is needed.
