Overview

• The video feature will launch first for Super Grok users, who pay $30 per month for the tier.
• It runs on the Aurora engine within Grok’s Imagine tool, producing short videos with audio from text prompts in tests of up to six seconds.
• Early access is currently limited to xAI employees and select influencers, with public sign-ups through the standalone Grok app waitlist.
• An internal “spicy” mode can generate nudity, raising concerns over explicit deepfakes and compliance with laws like the Take It Down Act.
• xAI is deploying more than 110,000 GPUs to its Memphis supercomputer to train a heavier-duty video model as Grok takes on OpenAI’s Sora and Google’s Veo.
