SpaceXAI: Grok Imagine Image Quality

x-ai/grok-imagine-image-quality

BenchmarksCompare

Grok Imagine Image Quality is SpaceXAI's fast, high-fidelity image generation and editing model. It accepts text prompts and optional reference images, producing photorealistic outputs at 1K or 2K across a range of aspect ratios, including flexible adjustment of reference images.

The model emphasizes realistic detail — natural lighting and physics, accurate textures, and consistent rendering of named entities such as brands, public figures, and specific locations. It supports clean multilingual text rendering inside images, making it the top choice for posters, packaging, ads, menus, and social graphics. When given reference images, it preserves identity and structure for product placement, brand-aligned variations, and character continuity across scenes.

Benchmarks

Scores on standardized evaluations and this model’s own outputs on shared benchmark prompts. Higher percentages are better — and each rank shows where this model lands among the models evaluated on that source.

Providers

This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request to it directly — no routing decisions to make.

Pricing

The average price customers actually pay for this model, next to the prices providers post. Caching and discounts mean the price actually paid is often well below the listed one.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime

Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Apps

Public apps that send the most traffic to this model. Good signal for what real production workloads look like — and a hint at which use cases this model is best suited for.

Activity

Token volume and request traffic to this model over time.

API

Drop-in code to call this model. OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. The only thing that changes between models is the model slug below.

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and customization options.

Grok 4.7

Grok 4.7 is SpaceXAI's flagship model for coding, agentic tasks, and knowledge work, succeeding Grok 4.6. It is particularly strong at long-running software engineering tasks, verifying its own work, and managing long context, and it improves on its predecessor at professional knowledge work such as drafting documents and presentations.

The model was trained with a longer reinforcement learning run weighted toward problems that take many hours to complete, and natively understands the Grok Bot harness for conversational tasks. It ships with a new safeguard stack that pairs strong jailbreak resistance with low refusal rates for legitimate cybersecurity and biology work. SpaceXAI's reported benchmark results use the xhigh reasoning effort.
