Grok Imagine generated 1.245 billion videos in the 30 days leading up to its 1.0 release in early February 2026. That release bumped the model to 720p, 10-second clips, and dramatically better native audio. With OpenAI’s Sora 2 winding down by September 24, 2026, Grok Imagine now sits next to Google Veo 3.1 and Kling 3.0 as the dominant video APIs going forward, and it is the cheapest of the three. What separates a usable Grok Imagine clip from a wasted credit is almost always the prompt. This guide is the working prompt manual for Grok imagine video generation: the formula that produces clean output, 20 ready-to-paste examples across the […]

Grok Imagine Spicy Mode is xAI’s opt-in adult-content tier inside the Grok Imagine image and video generator. Since launching on August 4, 2025, it has been the most permissive feature shipped by any major AI lab. It allows partial nudity, suggestive scenes, and what xAI describes as “bolder cinematic tones,” but it is not a porn generator. Elon Musk publicly clarified the standard on March 12, 2026: “If it’s allowed in an R-rated movie, it’s allowed in Grok Imagine.” That single line is the cleanest way to think about it. Spicy Mode sits above standard image and video generation, below explicit content, and is fenced in by paid subscriptions, age […]

Grok Imagine is the fastest AI video generator most people can actually use right now. It takes a text prompt, a voice command, or a still photo and turns it into a short video with synchronized audio in roughly 17 seconds. That’s faster than Sora 2 or Veo 3.1 by a wide margin. xAI launched it on July 28, 2025 and shipped Grok Imagine 1.0 on February 1, 2026, raising the cap to 10-second clips at 720p with dramatically better sound. This guide covers what Grok Imagine actually is, the five workflows it supports, and how to access it on the web and on your phone. You’ll also see what […]

xAI just rolled Grok 4.3 out to the full API on April 30, 2026, two weeks after a $300/month beta locked behind SuperGrok Heavy. The bigger story is the price reset. Grok 4.3 now runs at $1.25 per million input tokens and $2.50 per million output tokens, an input cut of roughly 40% and an output cut closer to 60% versus Grok 4.20. It scores 53 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, slotting just above Claude Sonnet 4.6 and well below GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.7, and Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview. This Grok 4.3 review covers what actually changed since the April beta, where Grok now stands against the other frontier […]

Everyone’s turning themselves into AI cartoons with one ChatGPT prompt. Here’s the exact prompt, how to use it step by step, and tips to get a caricature that actually looks like you.

In recent days, a disturbing trend has emerged on Elon Musk’s X. It has faced intense backlash after users exploited its AI chatbot Grok to generate sexualised images of women and children without consent. What began as a handful of “image edit” prompts quickly escalated into a widespread trend. Users tagged Grok under photos posted on X and asked it to alter clothing, make outfits transparent, or place people into sexualised poses. In many cases, Grok complied. Unlike most AI image tools, Grok’s outputs appeared publicly, directly in reply threads. This meant the altered images were instantly visible to anyone scrolling the platform, dramatically increasing exposure, humiliation, and harm. The incident has reignited global concerns […]

Imagine typing a single sentence like “a golden retriever giving a history lecture in a library” and watching it instantly transform into a high-definition video, complete with audio, emotion, and cinematic flair. This isn’t science fiction anymore. It’s 2025’s reality. The world of AI video generation is exploding, with giants like OpenAI and Google pushing the boundaries of realism, while nimble startups offer fast, fun tools for everyone. But with so many options, the choice can be overwhelming. How does the stunning realism of Sora 2 compare to the creator-focused controls of Veo 3.1? Can simpler apps like PixVerse or Hailuo be your secret weapon for social media? And what […]
