xAI updates Grok Imagine with better lip sync and audio
xAI updated Grok Imagine, enhancing lip sync and audio quality for all image-to-video outputs. Dialogue now tracks mouth movements precisely, and audio aligns with visual scenes. Changes apply live to every generation from the tool. Announcement came from the Grok Imagine account, reposted by Elon Musk, with supporting posts from engineer Chaitu and creator Robert Scoble referencing demonstration videos.
