Inside Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite: Lean Tier, Full Audio
xAI's entry rung in the 1.5 lineup — low-cost, sound built into every render, and served through Venice's no-log private tier.
- Where Lite Sits in the 1.5 LineupxAI slots this model at the bottom of the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 range, beneath the flagship Grok Imagine 1.5, and it has been live on Venice since 30 September 2026 at a fraction of the flagship's rate.
- One Model, Two Entry PointsTwo endpoints ship under the same weights — grok-imagine-1-5-lite-text-to-video and grok-imagine-1-5-lite-image-to-video — letting you script a scene from nothing or set an uploaded frame in motion, open to anyone via this app or the Venice API.
- No Logs, No Training SetRenders run on the private tier, which retains nothing: prompts and uploaded frames are not archived, not profiled and never fed into model training, and no record of what you made is tied back to your identity.
Running Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite in Three Moves
From a one-line idea to a finished, audio-included clip: this is the whole workflow for Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite on Venice.
What Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Does Well
Sound generated with the frame, a 480p-to-1080p ladder with second-level length control, and a no-retention home on Venice.
Sound Baked Into the Render
Room tone, effects and dialogue are produced in the same pass as the visuals and land in step with the action, which means no separate sound-design stage afterwards.
Second-Level Length, Three Resolutions
Both endpoints accept any length between one and fifteen seconds, adjustable a second at a time, across three resolution tiers — granularity you rarely get at this price.
Animate One Frame, Not a Storyboard
Feed in a product photo, a portrait or a piece of art and describe how it should move; the model keeps the frame you gave it and adds motion, up to full 1080p.
Steadier Motion, Fewer Warps
xAI's release notes credit the 1.5 generation with cleaner motion — less warping, and weight and momentum that hold together from the first frame to the last.
Call It From Your Own Stack
The model is reachable over Venice's REST API: pass the model id plus your prompt, still or duration and a render is queued directly from your application.
Nothing Kept, Nothing Attributed
Your wording and source frames are not stored, not profiled and not used for training, and no personal library accumulates around your account the way it does inside xAI's own product.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite: Questions Answered
What people ask before their first Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite render on Venice — pricing, privacy, variants and limits.
So what is Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite, in plain terms?
The entry-level model in xAI's Grok Imagine Video 1.5 line. Venice has hosted it since 30 September 2026 in two forms — text-to-video and image-to-video — each producing one-to-fifteen-second clips at 480p, 720p or 1080p with audio generated alongside the picture.
How is pricing calculated, and is there a subscription?
Billing is metered by resolution and length — four cents buys a one-second 480p render, five cents the 720p equivalent, eighteen cents the 1080p one, scaling up to the fifteen-second ceiling. Nothing is charged monthly, and a new Venice account opens with 500 credits plus a recurring daily free allowance.
Can I download the weights or host it myself?
It cannot be — the weights are xAI's and have never been released, so self-hosting or fine-tuning is off the table. Venice lets you spend the welcome credits first and pay only for what you keep, and if open weights are a hard requirement, Wan 2.7 Enhanced is the nearest option that also produces audio.
Will it move a photo I already have?
Yes. The grok-imagine-1-5-lite-image-to-video endpoint takes one still and sets it in motion at any of the three resolutions for one to fifteen seconds, soundtrack included; the grok-imagine-1-5-lite-text-to-video endpoint instead builds everything from your written description.
What separates this from the full Grok Imagine 1.5?
Resolution, length and audio parity are shared — both reach 1080p, fifteen seconds and native sound under the same private tier. The flagship adds up to seven image references and voice references so a character's face and tone survive across scenes; the Lite model works from one still or one prompt.
What happens to my prompts and uploads?
Everything renders inside the private tier, which is built to retain nothing: prompts and reference frames are not archived, not profiled and not recycled into training data, and no history is bound to who you are — consistent with Venice's browser-side encryption and decentralized architecture.
Your First Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Render Starts Here
Nothing you type is logged and nothing you upload trains a model. Open either endpoint on Venice and your account already carries 500 credits plus a daily free allowance — no card, no commitment.
