Spacexai's grok bot expands to use external models like claude and midjourney

On October 7, Elon Musk announced on X that SpaceXAI's Grok Bot is evolving to use a multi-model approach, selecting the best-performing model for each task. The AI assistant, launched in August 2026 as a beta version, will now integrate external APIs such as Claude Opus5.5, Midjourney, and Suno. Musk emphasized that the system will automatically choose the model most likely to deliver the best results for users, shifting from a focus on in-house models to a hybrid architecture. Grok Bot functions as an always-on AI colleague capable of logging into frequently used websites and applications, performing multi-step tasks autonomously, and requiring user approval only when necessary. Each bot has a name, role, and accumulated context, allowing users to assign tasks through text, voice, or voice calls. It operates on a cloud computer with a browser, file system, and terminal, ensuring tasks continue running even if the user closes their devices. This shift marks a significant change in SpaceXAI's strategy, as the company moves toward a task-oriented model where third-party APIs are no longer excluded. The update highlights Grok Bot's ability to adapt to different user needs by leveraging the strengths of various models.
