X offers AI image generation through Grok, powered by the Aurora model developed by xAI, allowing users to create images from text descriptions directly within the X platform. The feature launched in December 2024 and is accessible to all X users through Grok.

Aurora is described by xAI as an autoregressive mixture-of-experts network trained to predict the next token from interleaved text and image data, trained on billions of examples from the internet. It enables photorealistic image rendering, text in images, meme generation, and realistic portraits. Users can also upload a photo and describe desired changes to receive a modified version. The feature is accessible through the Grok tab on X's mobile apps and the web. Full image generation capabilities (including Aurora) are available to X Premium subscribers, while basic Grok access is free with limits.
