[Grok Ranked Second Globally in Both Image Generation and Editing, Image 2.0 Launched] According to monitoring by Beating, xAI has released Grok Imagine Image 2.0, and the new model is now available on the Grok web platform and mobile app. Users can switch to 'High-Quality Mode' in Imagine to access it. This update significantly improves instruction comprehension, text layout, and consistency in sequential generation. The upgrade also makes the image editing capabilities more comprehensive. Users can modify specific areas of an image while keeping the rest unchanged; they can also automatically crop, expand, and upload up to 5 reference images for composite editing. Based on the latest Arena rankings, Image 2.0 has achieved second place globally in both text-to-image generation and image editing. xAI has also added ready-made templates for product images, avatars, posters, and game assets, signaling Grok Imagine's transition from 'generating a single image' to becoming a complete image design tool. The API for Image 2.0 is not yet available. [Original Link]
