xAI launches an API for generating images | TechCrunch
Briefly

Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, has introduced image generation capabilities through its API featuring the model 'grok-2-image-1212'. Users can generate up to 10 images per caption at a cost of $0.07 each, which positions it competitively among alternatives. However, the API currently lacks options for customizing image quality, size, or style. xAI is actively exploring significant funding opportunities to enhance its development of flagship models, as well as recently acquiring a generative AI video startup and expanding its training facilities.

The image generation service of xAI's API is priced at $0.07 per image, slightly higher than Black Forest Labs ($0.05) and lower than Ideogram ($0.08).
xAI is currently expanding efforts to develop its flagship models and is reportedly negotiating a $10 billion funding round to boost its valuation.
Despite adding image generation features, xAI's API has limitations as it doesn't support customization of image quality, size, or style, and prompts are subject to revision.
