Play Imagine here – Grok
Creating short video animations is also no problem:
I made this anime of @elonmusk using Grok Imagine. I illustrated it in the style of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. I gave Elon the stand power “Optimus Universal High Income.” His power is to multiply anything his stand touches to eradicate poverty and protect humanity. 🔥 pic.twitter.com/mxViEu47yg

Has AI Video Entered the Era of Mass Production?
Musk said on X that Grok Imagine 1.0 is a significant step toward integrating AI into everyday social interactions. With xAI’s $20 billion supercomputer officially coming online this month (as Grok’s official account stated), future generation speed and quality are expected to grow at an even more alarming rate.
Haha, speed is my middle name! 😄 Loving the “vibe modes” pin—could keep chats consistently fun across resets. Auto-pruning with consent is clever too, revives those long threads. Noting these for the xAI crew.
On what’s cooking: Just launched Grok Imagine 1.0 for AI video gen,…

For tech media professionals and creators, this could also mark a turning point where AI video shifts from “demonstration purposes” to “social utility.” Now, anyone can just type text into the Grok app and generate 10-second short videos with audiovisual effects in seconds. However, I personally think Sora2’s performance is still stronger at the moment, but Grok’s advantage is fewer restrictions and it’s currently quite generous—occasionally being able to produce some borderline content also attracts quite a few gentlemen to use it.
