SpaceXAI's Grok Bot won't be a Grok-only product for much longer. Elon Musk said on X on Wednesday 7 October that, going forward, the agent app will use "the best back end model for any given task", even when that model comes from a rival. He named three: Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5, the image maker Midjourney and the music generator Suno.
