We've enhanced Grok's image generation abilities with a new model, code-named Aurora. Aurora is an autoregressive mixture-of-experts network trained to predict the next token from interleaved text and image data. We trained the model on billions of examples from the internet, giving it a deep understanding of the world. As a result, it excels at photorealistic rendering and precisely following text instructions. Beyond text, the model also has native support for multimodal input, allowing it to take inspiration from or directly edit user-provided images.
Grok's new capabilities are now available on the 𝕏 platform in select countries and will roll out to all users within a week.

Image Generation
Grok can now generate high-quality images across several domains where other image generation models often struggle. It can render precise visual details of real-world entities, text, logos, and can create realistic portraits of humans.
