We used Flux for image generation in the early days of Grok. It was decisive in growing the product before the model was ready.

This also sets the bar for the model teams: your model has to beat the competition or it won't make it into the product.

Going forward, @SpaceX will use the best back end model for any given task, including Claude Opus 5.5, MidJourney, Suno and other leading APIs.

Whatever is most likely to give you the best outcome.
