Overview

Freshness note: Model capabilities, limits, and availability can change quickly. This profile is a point-in-time snapshot last verified on May 8, 2026.

grok-imagine-image-1212 is an older Grok Imagine image-generation identifier retained here for legacy reference. xAI’s current models and pricing page now lists grok-imagine-image, grok-imagine-image-quality, and grok-imagine-video as the relevant Imagine API model IDs.

Capabilities

Historically, this model supported prompt-based image generation for creative ideation, visual variants, and product-facing image endpoints. New integrations should use grok-imagine-image or grok-imagine-image-quality instead.

Technical Details

As an image-native model, token context and max-output fields are represented as 0 in this content system and should be interpreted as N/A in UI views.

Pricing & Access

xAI’s current public pricing card lists grok-imagine-image at 0.02perimageand‘grok−imagine−image−quality‘at0.02 per image and `grok-imagine-image-quality` at 0.05 per image. Confirm current rates, limits, and account requirements in official xAI docs before launch.

Best Use Cases

Best used for auditing older API-backed image flows that still mention the 1212 identifier. For new brand image variants, creative testing pipelines, and product flows, use the current Grok Imagine model IDs.

Comparisons

Compared with GPT-Image-1, the main tradeoff is provider ecosystem and operational stack alignment. Compared with Imagen 4 Fast, choice typically depends on integration path, visual taste requirements, and throughput needs.
