Grok Imagine has released the first episode of its AI-generated adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey. Published on X on October 23, the video runs approximately seven minutes and 12 seconds and is presented as the opening installment of a series. The announcement credits a creative collaboration with Wonder Studios and director Dev Walker. It also asks viewers whether they want a detailed breakdown of how the episode was made. The credited team places human filmmakers alongside the AI video tool in the production.

Elon Musk pledged in July that Grok Imagine would produce a full-length Odyssey film before the end of 2026. He described the planned adaptation as “historically accurate” and faithful to Homer, setting a broader target than the short episode now available. As our earlier coverage detailed, that promise followed Musk’s public criticism of Christopher Nolan’s adaptation. Historical accuracy remains Musk’s characterization of the project, rather than an independently established finding about the released footage. The release post labels the video an episode, rather than a trailer, but does not give a total episode count or a date for the next installment. It therefore marks an initial release, while the promised feature-length adaptation remains a separate milestone.
