Grok Imagine Video 1.5 & Video 1.5 Fast
These 1.5 models improve across every dimension that matters for real creative work:
Audio and Speech
Sound effects, ambience, and dialogue are generated in the same pass and land on the action. Speech is clearer and better synced.
Motion and physics
Fewer wraps, more believable weight and momentum in the clip
Speed
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Fast produces 6-second, 720p videos in about 25 seconds, down from 40+ seconds in previous models.
