xAI has released Grok Imagine Video 1.5 to general availability and launched a faster variant, Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Fast, through the Imagine API.
xAI opened its video generation AI Grok Imagine Video 1.5 to general availability in June 2026, retiring the preview version that had previously achieved top benchmark scores. The company simultaneously introduced Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Fast, a model that generates a 6-second 720p clip in about 25 seconds, nearly halving the generation time of the earlier model. The fast model is available through the web, iOS, and Android versions of Grok.
Earlier in May 2026, the AI creation platform PixAI, which specializes in anime-style illustrations, appeared at the indie game event BitSummit PUNCH!! for the first time. Over three days, 647 attendees tried the interactive AI agent Mio.2 at the booth. Streamer Oniya visited the booth, spent over an hour with the tool, and called it a revolution. The two stories do not overlap in subject matter; one covers xAI's video generation product release, the other covers a separate company's booth at a game event.
