xAI released Imagine Image 2.0 as the new Quality Mode on grok.com/imagine and mobile apps. The update emphasizes precise instruction following, typography and layout for dense multi-part visuals, and iterative editing tools including region-specific magic wand edits, segmentation, background removal, multi-reference editing (up to 5 images), and smart resize across aspect ratios. It ranks highly on Arena text-to-image and image-edit leaderboards and introduces ready-made templates for common workflows such as product shots, headshots, icons and game assets. API access was noted as coming soon.
