xAI is preparing a "video extension" for the web version of Grok Imagine, adding a new selector to the generation interface to switch between "video generation" and "image generation." Clues from product update observations and test screenshots point to a visual mode selection control soon appearing on the web version. Given Grok Imagine's recent efforts to enhance image and short video capabilities on both mobile and web platforms, this change will bring the "image-video" workflow to a single entry point, reducing operational costs. Currently in the upcoming phase, the specific release date and availability will be subject to xAI's official announcement.
