Musk: Grok Bot to Route Tasks to Claude Opus 5.5, Midjourney, Suno
TL;DR
- Musk said Grok Bot will route tasks to Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 for reasoning, Midjourney for images and Suno for music.
- The post arrived a day after users reported access problems on Grok's mobile and web services, with no official explanation from SpaceXAI.
- The company is simultaneously rebranding from SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI and did not disclose routing logic, cost allocation or data flows.
Elon Musk said Grok Bot will route tasks through rival AI providers, naming Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 for text and reasoning, Midjourney for images, and Suno for music, according to The Next Web. "Going forward, @SpaceX will use the best back end model for any given task, including Claude Opus 5.5, MidJourney, Suno and other leading APIs," Musk wrote on X on Wednesday.
The post landed a day after users reported access problems on Grok's mobile and web services. SpaceXAI gave no official explanation for the outages, and the routing announcement arrived in the middle of a separate rebrand this week that renames SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI. Musk did not describe how Grok Bot will pick between providers, how costs will be allocated, or how user data will move between the three named services.
Grok Bot launched in August 2026, and Anthropic released a cheaper Opus tier the following month. Meta's competing Muse agent has reportedly passed 3 million weekly users. The routing pivot is the latest move from a unit we've tracked closely this quarter, including a reported compute-leasing conversation with Microsoft and an $8-to-$100 four-tier Grok-X pricing plan.
