Musk has secretly prepared a major move. Grok can instantly generate content with "Avatar"-level image quality. Is Hollywood trembling in fear?
Elon Musk has pulled another big move! This time, it's not about rockets or the IQ upgrade of Grok. Instead, it's an AI video generator called "Imagine" that can almost make movies. It can not only add sound effects and match pictures but also support multi - style generation. Netizens' real - world tests show incredibly amazing results!
Elon Musk's Grok can also generate videos now!
Grok is about to launch the "Imagine" video function, directly challenging Google's Veo 3.
Elon Musk said that he is fixing the relevant bugs and attached a video of a robot repairing a mechanical bird.
The dazzling video effects made Michael Hyacinth suspect that this video was from a scene in a movie.
In the video, the golden - flashing "Mechanical Dove" being repaired by the robot made netizens think of the legend of the mechanical flying bird of Archytas, an ancient Greek mathematician, philosopher, and pioneer of mathematical mechanics.
The fantasy from the ancient sky: Archytas' flying dove —— Maybe the world's earliest "robot"?
This was the first flying device with self - propulsion ability in human history. Although it doesn't count as a real flight today, this invention took an epoch - making step in understanding the flight mechanism of birds and aerodynamics.
Netizens said that Elon Musk is really serious about videos this time.
Movie - level quality with incredibly realistic details
Netizens who got the chance to try it out made cyber - punk style videos with Grok.
The code jumps in the dim room with a bloody hue, and the mechanical hand stirs up a metal storm on the keyboard.
This Robot with dangerous red - glowing pupils is tearing at the firewall of human civilization with binary language. Six curved screens pour down data waterfalls simultaneously, and the flood of 0s and 1s builds a digital Tower of Babel behind him.
Mati Roy, the project leader of xAI, released videos of various styles, divided into 3 major categories:
Fantasy style: New Pokémon pets, mythical elves;
Realistic style: Robots, portrait photos of alien women;
Science - fiction style: Dyson spheres.
Chaitu, an internal employee of Grok, said that this is the most interesting image and video generation experience he has ever had.
Netizens who have tried it said, "The video quality is excellent, the details are extremely realistic, and the whole process is like magic."
Netizen Minxuan Xie combined Grok's logo to generate a video of an astronaut playing music.
The scene is very dreamy, and the background music is just right.
Grok Imagine can convert images into videos. Netizens who have experienced it said, "It's just amazing!"
Grok launches an AI - version short video feature
It is reported that xAI is about to launch a new image and video generation function "Imagine" for the Grok iOS app:
- Supports video generation with audio (similar to Google Veo 3)
- Can generate 4 videos at once
- The generation speed is significantly improved
It is reported that Grok's generation model Aurora has been upgraded.
Judging from the early leaked information, Imagine will have an independent tab in Grok's app and web version, side - by - side with the original text - dialogue function.
Grok will then provide two main entrances: "Ask" for text Q&A, and "Imagine" for image and video generation. Users can freely switch between the two for more convenient use.
On the Imagine page, in addition to displaying some pre - generated images and videos for users to explore, it also offers complete creative freedom. You can manually enter a Prompt to generate content or describe the picture or scene you want to create by voice.
After each generation, the system will provide 4 different versions of videos for you to choose from, and each video is accompanied by different background sound effects.
Grok Imagine will achieve almost real - time image generation! Image generation is almost synchronous with scrolling.
In terms of operation experience
The generated results will come with some useful buttons, such as favorites, download, online sharing, and you can click "Redo" to regenerate the content.
Meanwhile, Imagine also offers a variety of preset modes to choose from, including Spicy, Fun, and Normal.
In addition, the Imagine page supports infinite browsing of recommended content. Users can keep scrolling down to explore more image and video variations.
Last month, Elon Musk, the founder of xAI, responded to netizens' questions about picture generation, saying that he is brewing some very cool features.
It seems that this prediction is about to come true.
