Huge respect to @Guodzh and @imhaotian and everyone on the team for building a culture focused on solving hard problems, shipping better models, and improving usability and user experience.
Ideas are cheap, talking is easy, and titles/narratives are easy after the fact. Being solid and making things actually work is the hard part.
@EthanHe_42 worked with me and @imhaotian for half a year on Grok Imagine. I don't think he was being intentional overclaiming here, but the internet narrative quoting him as the "lead" was werid. It was really driven by @imhaotian most of the time.
Good times — especially that intense three-month sprint at the start. Huge credit goes to @imhaotian and several other key people like @zeliu_@jathushan@ZhibeiM@hexiang@JackCaiXun@chaitu, and later @jia_xuhui@YknZhu, along with many others — especially the latest Grok Imagine 1.5.
Grok-Imagine-Video-1.5-Preview (720p) has landed #1 in the Image-to-Video Arena!
This is a massive +52 pt improvement over Grok-Imagine-Video (720p), surpassing the best video models Seedance-2.0 and HappyHorse.
Congrats to @xAI and @elonmusk on this big achievement!
Your entire creative workflow just collapsed into one infinite canvas.
In @imagine Agent Mode, you can brainstorm, write, generate and edit images, then turn them into videos without leaving the page.

Grok Imagine now has dramatically improved lip sync and sharper audio quality on all image-to-video generations.
Dialogue tracks the mouth. Sound matches the scene. Your videos look and sound the way you imagined them.
Exciting future: explore to understand the universe!
Join us to scale video generation models, create long videos with interesting stories, and push the already fastest videogen to an interactive realtime world simulator!
