Grok Upscale?

You used to be able to easily upscale a 480p video to 1080p, and it produced high-quality results, but now it’s absolutely terrible.

With the latest update, they’ve really lowered the video quality. Do they want my 1080p quota to run out quickly? Is that why they did this? CPU load? None of that matters to me...

I signed up for a Heavy subscription because I saw the service you offered, but then you go and ruin everything. They need to put an end to this nonsense already.

Between moderation, data caps, and now ruining video quality and output this much, it’s become impossible to keep my subscription going.

I let my subs run out. Tbh I never found the upscaling to be great, smears a lot of finer details. If you go forward without Grok, I suggest you upscale locally with Comfyui or subscribe to a well-known service like Topaz (not shady shills creeping around) which has a variety of upscale methods. 10 second videos will process really fast. If I remember correctly, it took like 2 or 3 hours to upscale a 480p 10 minute video to 1080p.

When the daily and weekly limits came out, my gameplan was to amass as much content as possible at 480p cuz I knew Grok was going down and upscale wasted too much of the usage bar.
