Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite: A Leaner Route to Finished Footage
A compact entry point into xAI's 1.5 video line — easier on the budget, native with sound, and served through Venice's no-retention private tier.
- Positioned as the Entry PointxAI slots this build at the base of the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 range, sitting beneath the flagship model, and it has been live on Venice since September 30, 2026.
- Text and Image Variants Under One NameTwo endpoints ship together as grok-imagine-1-5-lite-text-to-video and grok-imagine-1-5-lite-image-to-video — write a shot from nothing or set an uploaded frame in motion, with open access through the app or the Venice API.
- Nothing Kept, Nothing Trained OnRequests run through the private tier, which retains nothing: written prompts and uploaded stills are never archived, never profiled and never folded into a training set, and no render log is tied to who you are.
Running the Lite Build in Three Moves
Take a rough idea to a finished, audio-complete clip on Venice in three short steps, without leaving the page.
What Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Does Well
Sound baked in at render time, a 480p-to-1080p range with one-second duration steps, and privacy that leaves no trace behind on Venice.
Sound Baked Into the Same Pass
Ambience, effects and spoken lines land together with the picture in a single generation, timed to what happens on screen — so there is no separate audio build to schedule.
Three Resolutions, One-Second Steps
Both variants accept any length from 1 to 15 seconds and render at 480p, 720p or 1080p — granularity that is genuinely hard to find at this price point.
Animate One Frame You Already Have
Bring a product shot, portrait or illustration to life up to 1080p and 15 seconds; describe the motion you want rather than re-describing the picture itself.
Steadier Motion Than Before
xAI's own release notes report fewer warps and more convincing weight and momentum across a clip compared with the previous generation of the model.
Queue Renders From Your Own Code
Venice publishes the model over a REST API, so a model id plus your inputs is all it takes to fire off a generation straight from your own stack.
No Retention, No Profile, No Training
Prompts and source images are neither stored nor profiled nor reused for training, and nothing links a render back to you — unlike account-bound libraries elsewhere.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite: Questions Answered
Straight answers on pricing, privacy, the two variants, and how the Lite build compares with the flagship model.
So what is Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite, exactly?
It is the lightest build in xAI's Grok Imagine Video 1.5 range, served on Venice since September 30, 2026 in text-to-video and image-to-video forms, at 480p, 720p or 1080p, running 1 to 15 seconds, with audio generated natively.
How is billing handled, and is a subscription required?
Billing is per render and moves with resolution and length — a one-second 480p clip costs $0.04, 720p is $0.05 and 1080p is $0.18, scaling up to 15 seconds. There is no subscription; new Venice accounts start with 500 welcome credits plus a free daily allowance.
Can I download the weights or self-host it?
No. The model is proprietary to xAI and no weights have been published, so self-hosting and fine-tuning are off the table. You can test it on Venice using welcome credits before paying per render; if open weights are a hard requirement, Wan 2.7 Enhanced is the nearest open option with native audio.
Does it work from a photo as well as a prompt?
Yes. The grok-imagine-1-5-lite-image-to-video endpoint sets a single still in motion at 480p, 720p or 1080p for 1 to 15 seconds with sound, while grok-imagine-1-5-lite-text-to-video builds a clip from written text alone.
Where does the Lite build stop and the flagship start?
Both run privately on Venice at 1080p for up to 15 seconds with native audio. The flagship adds multi-reference control — up to seven image references plus voice references — so a character's face and voice carry across scenes. Lite works from one still or a prompt.
What happens to my prompts and uploads?
Everything runs on the private tier, which retains nothing: prompts and reference stills are not archived, not profiled and not reused for training, and no history is bound to your identity — in line with Venice's encrypted-in-browser, decentralized setup.
Put Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite to Work
Prompts stay unlogged and nothing you upload trains a model. Open the text-to-video or image-to-video tab on Venice — new accounts pick up 500 welcome credits and a free daily allowance, with no card needed.
