The AI operation's four focus areas include Grok Main and Voice, coding tools, Imagine's image and video features, and Macrohard.
Grok Imagine's video-generation unit has lost about 60 employees during an ongoing reshaping of SpaceX's AI business, following the February 2026 merger of xAI into SpaceX.
Grok Imagine is a feature of Grok that lets users create images and short video clips through the chatbot. Its work sits within one of four focus areas in the combined AI operation: Grok Main and Voice, coding tools, Imagine's image and video features, and Macrohard.
Several co-founders and senior researchers have also left since the merger. The team had also seen reductions in prior months. About 500 data annotators were let go in September 2025.
No public timeline has been set for Grok Imagine's video features.
