Grok Imagine Image Edit

[Core Function] Grok Imagine Image Edit is xAI’s standard image editing model. [Strengths] It excels at quickly applying prompt-guided edits and style changes to one or more source images. [Best For] Highly recommended for: fast restyling, quick variations, and lightweight image edits. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model when maximum edit fidelity is required; the Quality variant preserves more detail. A maximum of 3 source images is supported. [Routing] Choose this model for fast edits. When the user demands maximum fidelity, route to Grok Imagine Image Edit (Quality).
