fix(ai-grok): allow a starting frame with reference inputs on grok-imagine-video-1.5 - #1359
Conversation
…agine-video-1.5 xAI documents `image` combined with `reference_images` / `reference_audios` as the first-frame pin on grok-imagine-video-1.5; only classic grok-imagine-video rejects the mix. The adapter's guard was unconditional, so 1.5 callers had to demote the intended first frame into `reference_images[0]`, which does not lock the first frame. The guard is dropped rather than model-scoped: the model gate two blocks above already throws for any reference input on classic grok-imagine-video, so a scoped version would be unreachable.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Remove the stale “not combinable” guidance.
Line 311 documents that grok-imagine-video-1.5 can combine a starting frame with reference inputs. However, Line 590 still says this combination is not supported. This contradiction can cause users to avoid a supported request. Update the later sentence to match the model-specific behavior.

On
grok-imagine-video-1.5, a starting-frame image and reference inputs could not be sent together. Any prompt with astart_frameimage plus areference/characterimage (ormodelOptions.reference_audios) threw before the request went out. xAI documents that combination on 1.5 as the way to pin the first frame. This PR lets it through, and keeps the rejection for classicgrok-imagine-video.🎯 Changes
packages/ai-grok/src/adapters/video.ts: drop the unconditionalstartFrame && hasReferenceguard. Bothimageandreference_images/reference_audiosnow reach the request body on 1.5.grok-imagine-videostill rejects reference inputs.docs/adapters/grok.mdsaid the two could not be combined. Corrected, and the reference-to-video sample now shows a pinned start frame next to a character reference.packages/ai/skills/ai-core/media-generation/SKILL.md.@tanstack/ai-grok.✅ Checklist

Root cause
Issue. On
grok-imagine-video-1.5,createVideoJobthrew for any prompt that carried both a starting-frame image and a reference image or voice. Callers had to demote the intended first frame intoreference_images[0], which does not lock the first frame, so a clip no longer started from the frame rendered for it.Cause.
createVideoJobinpackages/ai-grok/src/adapters/video.tsguardedstartFrame && hasReferencewith no model check. The adjacent reference-input gate is model-scoped throughisGrokVideoReferenceModel(model); this one was not, so it fired on 1.5 as well.Fix. The guard is removed. The model gate above it already throws for any reference input on classic
grok-imagine-video, so the combination can only be reached on 1.5, where xAI accepts it.Possible alternatives
&& !isGrokVideoReferenceModel(model)as the issue suggested. Same behavior, but the condition can never be true, because the model gate above already rejects reference inputs on classic. Dead code.imagetoGrokVideoProviderOptions. A typed first-frame pin inmodelOptions. Not taken: the typed path already exists as an image prompt part withmetadata.role: 'start_frame', and a second entry point needs precedence rules for no new capability.Testing

packages/ai-grok/tests/video-adapter.test.ts: a start frame with a reference image, a start frame withreference_audios, and classicgrok-imagine-videostill rejecting reference inputs. Each asserts the exact JSON body sent to xAI. No E2E test: aimock has no async video job support, so there is no way to drive this through the E2E suite.Linked issues
Closes #1352
Risk / rollback
Low. The change only removes a throw, so no request that worked before changes shape. A caller who relied on the error to catch a bad prompt now sends the request instead, and xAI answers. Revert the PR to restore the old guard.
