Imagine image API updates

Imagine image API updates Auto quality. The quality parameter on grok-imagine-image-2.0 now accepts auto , and the default when quality is omitted has moved from medium to auto . Auto currently uses low for image generation and medium for image editing. Images are billed at the quality they are served at. Pass low or medium explicitly to pin a specific quality. See Image Generation . Five reference images. Image editing now accepts up to 5 source images per request (was 3). See Multi-Image Editing . New aspect ratios. Image generation and editing accept 21:9 (cinematic widescreen) and 5:2 (wide banners). See Image Generation . August 12

Publication boundary

Confidence, importance, and discussion are three different numbers.

Official and first-party repository changes may publish automatically after deterministic validation. Independent sources remain draft until review. Community links are attached as discussion evidence and cannot create an indexable fact by themselves.
