That’s likely to be the case with the new Grok Image Generation release, code-named Aurora.

Itappeared briefly over the weekendbut now seems to have replaced Flux as the image generator inside Grok completely.

Grok Aurora

“Aurora is an autoregressive mixture-of-experts connection trained to predict the next token from interleaved text and image data.

This basically means it is particularly good at photorealistic images and following a prompt.

It can also generate impressive text on the image and take inspiration from an image uploaded by a user.

Grok Aurora

If you see Grok + Flux in the model selection drop-down then you don’t have access yet.

If you do, then this is a guide to using it.

This guide assumes you have an X Premium subscription, which is required for using Aurora.
