Grok Bot switches to Claude Opus 5.5, with setup guide
SpaceXAI's Lauren Tan says all bots are moving to Opus, and the post includes a screen recording of the official setup steps for tasks, triggers and permission limits.
Elon Musk just moved Grok Bot onto a rival's brain, Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5. Lauren Tan, who builds the product at SpaceXAI, says all bots are switching to Opus, and for code they can launch cloud agents on other models. How to set yours up, from the company's own starter guide: - describe what you want done the way you'd do it yourself, or record your screen doing the task once - give it a schedule or a trigger, like a Slack thread or a GitHub PR to watch - write the limits in plain words under Settings > General > Agent, and a reviewer checks proposed actions against them - split big projects across specialists that message each other - log in to sites carefully, since the bots you run share those logins When Theo Browne posted "Grok Bot is actually really good," Musk replied "It really is."
