November 2 redirect

Updated September 2, xAI’s API guide lists November 2 for retiring grok-imagine-image-quality. That slug will still resolve, serving grok-imagine-image-2.0 at low quality. No cutoff hour or timezone is stated. [1]

Request settings

Direct grok-imagine-image-2.0 requests default to auto quality: currently low for generation, medium for editing. Set low or medium explicitly to pin the choice. We have not tested requests or output parity. [2]

Our take

Choose quality deliberately. Inspect the served model and image before depending on the workflow.
