Muse quoted $1K+ more than Grok for the same flight — it searched Duffel, not Google Flights

A user had Grok Bot and Meta's Muse track the same Japan flight itinerary: Muse's quote came in over $1,000 higher, and when asked why, it admitted it searched Duffel — an obscure flight API — instead of Google Flights. The author finds Muse's UI and mascot great but questions the underlying model's intelligence, speculating it's intentional for a product meant to scale to a billion users.
