1. xAI’s Grok Imagine Image 2.0 Lands on Vercel AI Gateway

Vercel. Vercel added xAI’s Grok Imagine Image 2.0 Preview to its AI Gateway, making the image generation model routable through the AI SDK under the identifier xai/grok-imagine-image-2.0-preview. The model targets detailed, structured compositions, planning typography and layout together so dense visuals like infographics, posters, and title screens keep their structure and small text stays legible. It supports 1k and 2k output resolutions and image editing that preserves subjects and details across successive generations, and it is accessible through imagine.vercel.sh. Source
