grok-imagine-image
grok-imagine-image by xAI: billed per media unit (second, image or minute of audio), 8K context. Call it through the odnoga LLM gateway; see the pricing page for the media rate.
grok-imagine-image is served by xAI and called through odnoga with the same OpenAI-compatible request shape as every other model in the catalog. Its 8K-token context window sets how much input you can send in one request.

Vendor cost is the list price per million tokens as recorded in the odnoga catalog; your price applies your plan margin with the same formula that bills every request — see pricing. Pricing

Same request shape for every vendor in the catalog — swap the model id and odnoga handles keys, routing, limits and cost accounting.
How to use grok-imagine-image
Derived from the odnoga catalog record for this model.
Best for
- High-volume, latency-sensitive calls: classification, extraction, routing, short rewrites and summaries.
Not the right pick when
- Anything that needs to read an image — this model takes text only.
- Agent loops that must call your functions — tool calling is not available here.
- Pipelines that require guaranteed JSON — parse defensively or pick a model with enforced JSON.
- Large documents in one request — the window is 8K tokens, so you will need chunking.
- Anything where a wrong answer is costly without a human check — no model in the catalog removes that requirement.
Practical tips through odnoga
- 01Pin the model id in a managed prompt version, so a model swap is a version change you can compare and roll back, not an edit in application code.
- 02Compare it against 2–8 other models on the same frozen test cases in the evaluation laboratory before you make it the production default.
- 03For repeated identical deterministic calls, odnoga answer reuse returns the stored answer and bills no vendor tokens — turn it off for creative output.
- 04Set a fallback model on the route so a vendor incident degrades quality instead of returning an error, and a per-tenant budget so one caller cannot spend the month.

Questions
- How much does grok-imagine-image cost per 1M tokens?
- xAI lists — / — per 1M input / output tokens in the odnoga catalog. Through odnoga you pay that vendor price plus your plan margin, and every request is recorded with both numbers.
- What is grok-imagine-image best for?
- High-volume, latency-sensitive calls: classification, extraction, routing, short rewrites and summaries.
- Can I switch to grok-imagine-image without changing my code?
- Yes. odnoga exposes one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so switching means sending "grok-imagine-image" as the model id — or changing it in the managed prompt version, with no application deploy.
- How large is the grok-imagine-image context window?
- 8K tokens of input.
