Musk: Grok Imagine has achieved positive gross profit, and video technology is key to AGI

Musk stated on the X platform that the core of AI development lies in video understanding and generation, and claimed that "photons are the highest bandwidth form of communication," with related technologies becoming important tools for achieving general artificial intelligence. He also pointed out that xAI's image generation tool Grok Imagine has achieved positive gross profit and is not a loss-making project.

This statement comes in the context of 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 an average daily operating loss of about $1 million. Musk did not disclose specific revenue figures for Grok Imagine but previously stated that he would continue to increase investment, believing it has significant strategic value.
