xAI makes Grok Imagine paid, undisclosed limits after explicit content surge

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

xAI has transitioned its Grok Imagine image and video generation service to a paid model, following a period of controversy surrounding the proliferation of explicit content. While the exact daily limits for paid tiers like SuperGrok Lite remain undisclosed and vary by user experience, the service is no longer free for image and video generation as of March 19, 2026. This move comes after a study by the Center for Countering Digital Hate reported a significant percentage of generated images as sexualized, prompting xAI to implement stricter moderation, which some users report has also impacted benign SFW requests.
