Grok Imagine Video 1.5 hits OpenRouter

OpenRouter has added support for xAI's Grok Imagine Video 1.5, enabling developers to animate still images using optional text prompts. The model allows users to shape motion, control camera work, and set physical properties, and it comes with built-in sound and dialogue generation features.

// ANALYSIS

Offering Grok's video generation model via OpenRouter's API makes high-quality multimodal synthesis significantly more accessible to developers.

–**Multimodality integration:** Bundling video animation with synthesized sound and dialogue simplifies the generation pipeline compared to chaining separate audio and video models.
–**Ecosystem expansion:** Hosting Grok Imagine Video on OpenRouter expands xAI's developer reach beyond native platforms like X.
–**Motion control:** Built-in physics and camera shape controls address a common pain point in AI video generation—unpredictable motion.
