Grok 2 Image FAQ
Everything you need to know about the fastest, most unfiltered AI image generator
Aurora is xAI's proprietary autoregressive Mixture-of-Experts model. Unlike traditional diffusion models that 'guess' images from noise, Aurora generates images token-by-token like language models handle text. This architecture enables 3-5 second generation and superior text rendering accuracy.
