xAI Unveils Image Generation API
Elon Musk's AI outfit, xAI, has spiced things up by adding image generation to its API. Right now, they've got just one model on the roster, dubbed "grok-2-image-1212." Feed it a caption, and it'll whip up to 10 images for you in JPG format, with a cap of five requests per second. Each image will set you back $0.07.
To put that in perspective, xAI's partner from last year, Black Forest Labs, which helped roll out image generation on Musk's social platform X, charges a bit less at around $0.05 per image. Meanwhile, another big name in the game, Ideogram, goes a tad higher at $0.08 per image.
According to xAI's docs, don't expect to tweak the quality, size, or style of your images just yet. Plus, they've got a "chat model" that might tweak your prompts before the image magic happens.
xAI kicked off its API back in October 2024, and it looks like they're on a mission to drum up some serious cash. They're beefing up their flagship models like Grok 3 and are apparently chatting with investors about a hefty $10 billion funding round that could push their valuation up to $75 billion.
And they're not stopping there. xAI's recently snapped up a generative AI video startup and is busy expanding their data center in Memphis, where they train and run their various models. Seems like they've got big plans in the works!

¡Qué locura! La API de xAI ahora genera imágenes, pero solo con un modelo y 10 imágenes por caption. ¿No es un poco limitado para algo de Elon? 😅 Me intriga ver qué tan creativas son esas imágenes en JPG.

Whoa, xAI's image generation API sounds like a game-changer! Feeding captions to get up to 10 JPGs is wild—I'm curious how creative this grok-2-image-1212 model gets. Anyone tried it yet? 🎨

xAIの画像生成APIはクールだけど、1秒に5リクエストという制限が残念。試してみたけど、画像はかなり良かった。もっと柔軟性が欲しいな。でも、遊ぶには楽しいツールだよ！

xAIの画像生成APIは面白いけど、モデルが一つだけってどうなの？もっと選択肢が欲しいな。画像のクオリティはまあまあだけど、キャプション一つで10枚以上欲しいよね。それでも遊ぶには楽しいツールだね。次はリクエストの速度も上げてほしいな！

xAI의 이미지 생성 API는 재미있지만, 모델이 하나뿐이라니 좀 아쉬워요. 더 많은 선택지가 있었으면 좋겠어요. 이미지 품질은 괜찮은데, 캡션 하나당 10장 이상 받고 싶어요. 그래도 놀기에는 재미있는 도구예요. 다음에는 요청 속도도 올려주면 좋겠네요!

A nova API de geração de imagens da xAI é bem legal! Eu testei e as imagens são sólidas, embora o limite de cinco solicitações por segundo seja um pouco frustrante. Ainda assim, é ótimo para visuais rápidos. Só queria que eles aumentassem um pouco esse limite, sabe? 😎
