# Grok Imagine

> A photo from text alone, at the lowest price. Good for drafts and for many tries.

Source: https://docs.nocamclub.com/models/grok-imagine

- **Model id:** `grok-imagine`
- **Makes:** photos
- **From:** 2 credits ($0.02)
- **Routes:** 1, so if it's down the model is down

## Writing prompts

- It takes no photos: for that, use `grok-imagine-quality`.
- Keep prompts direct, and judge the result for free ideas before moving to a dearer model.

## Good to know

- Our content check matters most here, since this model's own rules are reported to be softer. The same [content rules](https://docs.nocamclub.com/rules.md) apply.
