Grok Image Generation / Aurora
No estimate
No hardware requirements for this model
The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.
On record

What the numbers mean
What this model is
Grok Image Generation / Aurora was published by xAI, in United States of America, in December 2024. It comes out of industry.
It works in Image generation, and is recorded as doing image generation, Text-to-image, Image-to-image.
This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.
Answers
Grok Image Generation / Aurora — common questions
How many parameters does Grok Image Generation / Aurora have?
No parameter count has been published for Grok Image Generation / Aurora, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.
Who created Grok Image Generation / Aurora?
Grok Image Generation / Aurora was published by xAI, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.
When was Grok Image Generation / Aurora released?
Grok Image Generation / Aurora was published in December 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.
What is Grok Image Generation / Aurora used for?
Grok Image Generation / Aurora works in Image generation, and is recorded as handling image generation, Text-to-image, Image-to-image. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.
What GPU do I need to run Grok Image Generation / Aurora?
None. Grok Image Generation / Aurora is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.
Is Grok Image Generation / Aurora open source?
No. Grok Image Generation / Aurora has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
