The Grok Imagine (Image) family ships in tiers. Prototype on the cheapest, lock your prompt, then switch to the top tier for production.
cheap to prototype → premium to ship
Prototype on the cheapest tier, then switch the model_id to the top tier for production — same call.
Call the Grok Imagine (Image) API through your SamAutomation key — submit a job with the model_id, then poll until it's done. One key for every model, no per-vendor onboarding or separate billing.
Yes. On SamAutomation Grok Imagine Image 2.0 runs through one endpoint - POST /api/ai/jobs with model_id "grok-imagine-2" - so you do not need a separate account or key with xAI. You submit a job and poll it until the image is ready.
Grok Imagine Image 2.0 starts at 5 credits per job at its cheapest settings. Higher resolution costs more. Credits come with a plan, and the same key also covers JSON-to-video rendering and every other model.
No. Every render costs credits - 5 at the floor for Grok Imagine Image 2.0. Plans bundle monthly credits.
Start at the cheapest tier in the ladder above and move up only when you can see the difference in your own output. Higher tiers cost more credits per job, and on short social clips that difference is often invisible.
You reach Grok Imagine Image 2.0 through this API with your SamAutomation key, not through xAI's own app, so that app's sign-up and regional availability are not what gates you. The model's own content rules still apply to what you generate.
xAI publishes the model itself; this page is about calling it as an API alongside every other model on one key, which is a different job from their consumer app.
There is nothing to download. The Grok Imagine Image 2.0 API documentation you need here is our own reference: one endpoint, one key, and the model_id above. xAI publishes its own docs for the model, but those describe their platform, not this one.
If it is listed on this page it is active on the platform and you can call it today. Model availability moves — makers retire versions and add tiers — so the list here is the current state rather than a promise about next quarter.
You do not need a vendor SDK here. Grok Imagine Image 2.0 is an HTTP call: POST /api/ai/jobs with your key and model_id "grok-imagine-2", then poll the job. Any language that can send JSON can drive it, and the request shape is the same for every model on this platform.
The practical questions are the same for every generation service: what the provider may do with what you upload, how long it is kept, and whether it can be used for training. Read that clause before you send client material through any model, ours included. xAI publishes its own terms for the model itself.
That is up to xAI, not to us, and it differs per model and per release. If open weights matter to you, check the maker's own licence. Running it here is renting inference, not getting the weights.
No. The consumer app and the API are separate products with separate limits. Here you call Grok Imagine Image 2.0 through this platform, so there is no app to install and no second subscription.
xAI text-to-image generation and editing. Pick it when that is the job; a cheaper model wins when it is not.
One key for JSON-to-video and every AI model — Grok Imagine Image 2.0 starts at 5 credits. Documented and ready for your pipeline.
