Generate images with Grok Imagine Image 2.0
Grok Imagine Image 2.0 is the second generation of xAI's image model, and it moves up a class: where the first Grok Imagine played for speed, this one follows the prompt more closely, holds compositions together and accepts an input image to retouch on instruction. It respects the requested formats, from square to portrait, and comes in two qualities: Eco for batches of tries, Standard for the version you keep. The look stays in the family's direct, contemporary spirit, without the precious grain of the flagships, but with an obedience that makes the back-and-forth much shorter.
