buildOne report1 publisher SpaceX's Grok Bot will route work to Claude Opus 5.5 whenever Anthropic's model does it better
Elon Musk said SpaceX's Grok Bot agent will send each task to the best back-end model, Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 included. The policy moves the engineering work into routing, and into the tests that decide what 'best' means for each task.

buildOne report1 publisher Persistent agents from OpenAI, Meta and xAI draw their security boundaries in three different places
xAI's Grok Bot documentation tells users not to treat separate Bots as a security boundary. OpenAI's Dots and Meta's Muse put their isolation in other places, so what a deployer has to wall off depends on which agent it runs.

xAI built Grok 4.7 on a larger base model with a longer reinforcement-learning run and kept the API at Grok 4.6's rates. The open question for buyers is how many tokens the longer runs burn.
