Not yet checked against an official source: Third-party reports of resolution/quality price tiers not verified on official page. xAI release notes (Sept 2, 2026): grok-imagine-image-quality is retired on Nov 2, 2026, after which requests to that slug are served by grok-imagine-image-2.0 with quality low at a lower per-image price; since Aug 28 the quality parameter accepts auto (the default; low for generation, medium for editing) and editing takes up to 5 source images (https://docs.x.ai/docs/release-notes).
