Elon Musk's xAI may be working on a new meme generator for Grok: 'Something very cool is brewing'
Elon Musk ’s artificial intelligence (AI) startup xAI may be developing a new meme generator for its Grok AI chatbot . In a recent reply to a user inquiring about the same on social media platform X (earlier Twitter), Musk teased that “Something very cool is brewing.” The reply from the tech billionaire came after the X user suggested Grok should have a separate meme generator option while noting that its existing image generator already performs well for memes. The idea proposed by the user included built-in templates to enhance the meme creation process, suggesting it would make X a more engaging platform.
Following his initial hint, Musk shared another post saying, “Working on a new way to make creative viral videos fast called … ✨ Imagine ✨,” which further indicates the development of new creative tools related to AI and media.
However, it's important to note that Grok already has an image generator. The latest version of the same, codenamed Aurora, was introduced last year.
What we know about Grok’s latest Aurora image generator
While introducing the Aurora image generator in Grok in December 2024, the xAI team worte in a blog post: “We've enhanced Grok's image generation abilities with a new model, code-named Aurora. Aurora is an autoregressive mixture-of-experts network trained to predict the next token from interleaved text and image data. We trained the model on billions of examples from the internet, giving it a deep understanding of the world. As a result, it excels at photorealistic rendering and precisely following text instructions. Beyond text, the model also has native support for multimodal input, allowing it to take inspiration from or directly edit user-provided images. Grok's new capabilities are now available on the 𝕏 platform in select countries and will roll out to all users within a week.”
Currently, X Premium users in countries that have access to the Aurora image generator can use it from the social media platform.
