Modyfi Launches Public Beta of AI-Driven Graphic Design Software, Secures $7 Million in Funding


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.
