The tech world has once again been hit with a major news update. Elon Musk officially announced on social media today that the 1.0 version of the video generation tool Grok developed by his artificial intelligence company xAI is now fully available. This release marks a crucial step for xAI in the field of multimedia AI generation.
According to official information, Grok Imagine 1.0 has achieved a significant performance upgrade. The new version now supports high-definition videos up to 10 seconds long with a resolution of 720p, and it also features major improvements in audio quality. xAI revealed that the tool performed impressively during its one-month testing phase, having generated over 1.245 billion videos, indicating a high level of user enthusiasm for AI video creation.

Looking back at its technical path, xAI's breakthrough this time was not accidental. In March 2025, xAI successfully acquired Hotshot, a pioneering startup in the field of video generation. The company had previously gained recognition in the industry with advanced video models such as Hotshot-XL and Hotshot Act One. xAI clearly absorbed its technological essence, integrating it into the Grok ecosystem, thus achieving a smooth transition from static image generation to dynamic video generation.
As the 1.0 version is widely released, Elon Musk is trying to position Grok more advantageously in the fierce competition of AI large models through stronger visual expression.
