xAI ships Grok Imagine Image 2.0 with precision editing tools

xAI

xAI shipped Grok Imagine Image 2.0 on August 7, making it generally available as Quality Mode on grok.com/imagine and in its iOS and Android apps. The release centers editing as a core feature, with a magic wand tool for region-specific changes, precise segmentation, background removal, and multi-reference editing that accepts up to five input images in one generation. xAI said the model ranks second in the world on the Arena leaderboards for both text-to-image generation and image editing, behind OpenAI's gpt-image-2.
