Aurora is a text-to-image model developed by xAI. As with other text-to-image models, Aurora generates images from natural language descriptions, called prompts.[1] Aurora is used to generate images on Grok.
History and background
On August 14, 2024, Grok received image generation capability using Flux by Black Forest Labs. Elon Musk said that the use of Flux was temporary, as xAI was developing its own image generation system, but that it was still a few months away.[2]
On December 7, 2024, Aurora was enabled on Grok.[3] It was subsequently disabled a few hours later.[4]
On December 9, 2024, Aurora was officially announced and released.[5]
On December 14, 2024, xAI announced that Aurora would be coming to its API in the coming weeks.[6]
Reception
Aurora garnered significant attention for its photorealistic capabilities and few restrictions. TechCrunch highlighted Aurora's ability to create high-quality images of public figures and copyrighted characters with few restrictions, but noted that it wouldn’t produce nudes.[3]
