grok-imagine-video-1.5-preview-720p achieved a 52-point improvement, reaching an Elo score (a relative rating system based on head-to-head wins) of 1,473. This follows the recent addition of Grok 4.3 to the platform's testing suites.This shift places xAI ahead of established leaders like ByteDance's Dreamina Seedance 2.0 and Alibaba's HappyHorse. Based on 1.1 million community votes, the ranking suggests xAI has closed motion and fidelity gaps that previously favored Chinese labs. It also outpaces Google's Veo 3.1 series in human preference for image-to-video tasks.
These capabilities are available through the Grok Build beta for X Premium+ subscribers and via the xAI API. Developers can integrate the 720p preview to generate video from image prompts, utilizing the highest-rated visual consistency currently available. Third-party access is also supported through the Vercel AI Gateway generateVideo function.
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! https://t.co/FB91ytZteF
