  • xai/grok-imagine-video: [Core Function] Grok Imagine Video is xAI’s text-to-video generation model. [Strengths] It excels at generating short, dynamic video clips directly from a text prompt, with controllable duration, aspect ratio, and resolution. [Best For] Highly recommended for: short social clips, animated concepts, and dynamic scene generation from a description. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model when you have a starting image or reference subjects, or when you need resolutions above 720p or clips longer than 15 seconds; it is limited to 480p/720p and 15s. [Routing] Use this model when the user wants a video from text only. If a starting image is provided, route to the Image-to-Video model; for reference-driven character video, use Reference-to-Video.
  • xai/grok-imagine-video-1.5-i2v: [Core Function] Grok Imagine Video 1.5 I2V animates a single starting image into a video using the Grok Imagine 1.5 generation backbone. [Strengths] It excels at producing motion from one starting frame with the improved 1.5 model. [Best For] Highly recommended for: animating a photo or illustration when the 1.5 generation backbone is preferred. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model for text-only generation, for resolutions above 1080p, or for clips longer than 15 seconds; it requires a starting image and is limited to 480p/720p/1080p and 15s. [Routing] Use this model when the user provides one starting image and prefers the 1.5 backbone.
  • alibaba/happyhorse-1.1-i2v: [Core Function] HappyHorse 1.1 I2V is Alibaba’s latest streamlined first-frame image-to-video model. [Strengths] It turns a single image into high-quality 720P/1080P video with native audio support and 3-15 second duration; output aspect ratio follows the first frame image. [Best For] Highly recommended for: rapid image animation, product motion previews, and simple character or scene animation. [Limitations] It does not accept an explicit ratio parameter; use T2V or R2V when you need a fixed generated aspect ratio. [Routing] Prefer this model when the user provides one image and requests HappyHorse image animation.
  • alibaba/happyhorse-1.1-r2v: [Core Function] HappyHorse 1.1 R2V is Alibaba’s latest reference-image-to-video model. [Strengths] It uses 1-9 reference images to preserve subject or character appearance while generating new video actions, supports 720P/1080P output, 3-15 second duration, and expanded aspect ratios including 4:5, 5:4, 9:21, and 21:9. [Best For] Highly recommended for: character-consistent storytelling, reference-based product shots, and multi-image subject composition. [Limitations] Do NOT use if the user simply wants to animate a single image exactly as provided; use HappyHorse I2V instead.

  • alibaba/wan2.7-videoedit: [Core Function] Wan 2.7 Video Editing is an instruction-based video modification model. [Strengths] It supports complex video editing tasks like content replacement using reference images, and replicating actions, effects, and camera movements. [Best For] Highly recommended for: modifying existing video footage, style transfer on videos, and targeted element replacement. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model to generate a brand new video from scratch; it requires an input video. [Routing] Use this model by default whenever a user wants to edit, alter, or restyle an existing video.
  • xai/grok-imagine-video-edit: [Core Function] Grok Imagine Video Edit applies a prompt-guided transformation to an input video. [Strengths] It excels at restyling and modifying an existing video while keeping its original duration and aspect ratio. [Best For] Highly recommended for: restyling clips, applying visual effects, and prompt-driven video edits. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model to change the duration, aspect ratio, or resolution; the output preserves the input video’s duration and aspect ratio, and those parameters are not configurable. Input video constraints (e.g. format/length) are enforced by the upstream provider. [Routing] Use this model when the user provides a video and wants it edited/restyled. To make a video longer, use Video Extend.
  • xai/grok-imagine-video-extend: [Core Function] Grok Imagine Video Extend continues an existing video, generating additional footage beyond its end. [Strengths] It excels at seamlessly extending a clip with new prompt-guided motion. [Best For] Highly recommended for: lengthening short clips, continuing a scene, and adding follow-on action. [Limitations] Do NOT use the duration parameter expecting it to set the total video length; it only controls the length of the appended segment (2-10 seconds). Input video constraints are enforced by the upstream provider. [Routing] Use this model when the user wants to make a video longer. To restyle or modify an existing video, use Video Edit.
