Odaily Planet Daily reports: Musk stated on X that the core of AI development lies in video understanding and generation, calling photons "the highest-bandwidth form of communication," and said that related technologies will become essential tools toward artificial general intelligence. He also noted that xAI’s image generation tool, Grok Imagine, has achieved positive gross margins and is not a loss-making project.
The context for this statement is OpenAI's recent shutdown of the video platform Sora. Public reports indicate that since its launch, Sora has generated approximately $2.1 million in revenue, with daily operational losses averaging around $1 million. Musk has not disclosed specific revenue figures for Grok Imagine, but previously stated that he intends to continue increasing investment, viewing it as strategically important.
