Midjourney V6 Version Allegedly Infringes Copyright, Sparking Controversy


Musk announced on X that Grok Bot will no longer rely solely on its self-developed Grok model, but will shift to a task-oriented hybrid architecture of multiple models. The system uses the best output as the sole standard, automatically selecting and calling the most suitable backend model, without being limited to its own technology. For complex text, image, or audio tasks, it can flexibly call industry-leading third-party models such as Claude Opus 5.5, Midjourney, and Suno.
On October 7th, Musk announced on X that Grok Bot has undergone a major adjustment in its underlying logic: this always-on AI colleague no longer solely relies on SpaceXAI's in-house Grok series, but will automatically select the best backend model based on specific tasks. It will be able to call leading APIs such as Claude Opus5.5, Midjourney, and Suno, with the sole criterion being the most likely result for users. Its technical strategy is shifting from primarily using in-house models to selecting the best models from multiple sources.
