Musk: SpaceX will mix best models per task, including Claude Opus 5.5, MidJourney, Suno

Elon Musk announced that going forward SpaceX will use the best backend model for any given task, naming Claude Opus 5.5, MidJourney, Suno and other leading APIs — whatever is most likely to give the best outcome. Scobleizer reacted with "Grok goes open," reading it as a major signal that leading labs now openly multi-vendor their model stack instead of defaulting to in-house models. Details on what exactly "goes open" were not spelled out.
