Even a competitor's assistant now relies on Anthropic's model when it is better — results decide, not the brand.
Elon Musk wrote on X: "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." According to Tesla North, Grok Bot, SpaceXAI's SI assistant, is turning into a routing layer: reasoning goes to Claude Opus 5.5, images to Midjourney, music to Suno, and the system, not the user, makes the choice. In replies, users asked about the privacy of data sent to third-party APIs such as Anthropic's and asked for a way to opt out; Musk, per the same source, did not respond in detail. The sources contain no test results showing that the routing improves answers.
