FULL STORY
======================================================================X's AI 
video maker Grok Imagine is live for SuperGrok and Premium+ subscribers Grok 
Imagine turns prompts into looping six-second clips The tool includes a 
controversial spicy mode for some NSFW content 

xAI is pushing out the Grok Imagine AI video maker to those willing to pay 
for a SuperGrok or Premium+ subscription. Assuming you've paid your $30 or 
$35 a month, respectively, you can access Imagine in the Grok app under its 
own tab and turn prompts into short video clips. These last for around six 
seconds and include synced sound. You can also upload static images and 
animate them into looping clips. 

Grok Imagine is another addition to the increasingly competitive AI video 
space, including OpenAI's Sora , Google's Veo 3 , Runway, and more. Having 
audio built in also helps the tool, as sound is still not a universally 
available feature in all AI video tools. 

To stand out, Elon Musk is encouraging people to think of it as AI Vine, 
tying the new tool to the classic and long-defunct short-form video platform 
for Twitter, itself a vanished brand name. 

However, this isnt just nostalgia for 2014 social media. The difference is 
that it's a way to blend active creation and passive scrolling. Grok Imagine 
should get better almost every day. Make sure to download the latest @Grok 
app, as we have an improved build every few days. https://t.co/MGZtdMx26o 
August 3, 2025 Spicy Grok 

One potentially heated controversy around Grok Imagine is the inclusion of a 
spicy mode allowing for a limited amount of more explicit content generation. 
While the system includes filters and moderation to prevent actual nudity or 
anything sexual, users can still experiment with suggestive prompts. 

Musk himself posted a video of a scantily clad angel made with Grok Imagine. 
It provoked quite a few angry and upset responses from users on X. xAI 
insists guardrails are in place, but that hasnt stopped some early testers 
from trying to break them. 

xAI is keen to promote Grok Imagine as a way to make AI video accessible for 
everyone, from businesses crafting ads to teachers animating lessons. Still, 
there are understandable concerns about whether an AI platform that was only 
recently in hot water for outright pro-Nazi statements can be trusted to 
share video content without getting into more hot water. That goes double for 
the filters for the spicy content. You might also like xAI debuts powerful 
Grok 4 AI model, but it's not going to make people forget the antisemitism it 
spewed on X I tried Groks new AI image editing features  theyre fun but wont 
replace Photoshop any time soon Grok 3s voice mode is unhinged, and thats the 
point
