xAI Introduces Aurora Image Model for Grok 2, Phasing Out Grok 2 Mini

Dec 7, 2024, 10:45 AM

xAI has launched a new image generation model named Aurora, integrated into their Grok 2 AI system. Aurora is designed to enhance the realism and diversity of generated images, although some users have noted it may produce more artifacts and has less capability in rendering readable text compared to previous models like Flux. The rollout of Aurora marks a significant update in xAI's efforts to improve their AI's capabilities, with Grok 2 already phasing out its mini version in favor of this new development. Aurora's images are described as incredibly realistic, and xAI seems to be slowly converting everything to Grok 3.
