Grok Imagine Image 2.0

GA

Image-generation and image-editing model priced per OUTPUT IMAGE, not per token, so token price fields are null. The per-image rate depends on BOTH resolution and quality, which is why no single number can stand for it: low quality $0.04/image at 1K and $0.06/image at 2K; medium quality $0.06/image at 1K and $0.08/image at 2K. Source images supplied for editing are billed separately at $0.01/image. quality accepts low, medium or auto and DEFAULTS TO auto, which xAI states currently resolves to low for generation and medium for editing - so an unspecified request does not have a fixed price. Up to 5 source images per edit and the 21:9 and 5:2 aspect ratios are accepted (release note 2026-08-28). Batch API supported. This is the declared redirect target for grok-imagine-image-quality from 2026-11-02, serving that slug at quality 'low'. released is null as a SOURCED ABSENCE: xAI's release notes carry no launch entry naming this slug - it first appears already in service in the 2026-08-28 entry - so no launch date is dated anywhere first-party and none is invented here.

Grok Imagine Image 2.0 by xAI is tracked live in our LLM catalog. It is generally available (GA).
