Vercel announced that xAI's Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite is available through AI Gateway, allowing developers to generate video with native audio from text prompts and images. The model produces clips lasting 1 to 15 seconds at 480p, 720p or 1080p, with seven aspect ratios.

Developers can call the model through the AI SDK or try it in the AI Gateway Playground. Gateway supports usage and cost tracking, routing, retries and failover, with either a Gateway API key or a developer's own provider key.
