What can live with grizzly bears

Brown bears have been mixed with other animals and since grizzly bears are a subspecies of brown bears I think it's possible.
A lot of bears are kept together with different species of foxes and some are even kept with wolves. But given that grizzly bears are bigger than their European relatives their could be some problems. On the other hand even kodiakbears are kept with wolves and those bears are the biggest in the brown bear family.

Red foxes, wolves, wolverines, lynx and non-breeding other bears were mixed with brown bears in large exhibits with safe withdrawal places. In America, coyote should work, too.
Besides, tame grizzlies were mixed with lots of different tame animals, but this will not work with an average grizzly.

I've never seen Grizzlies mixed with anything other than fish. Even most rescue places keep their black bears separate from the Grizzlies. Mixing any other carnivores with them would be risky and put unnecessary stress on whatever was mixed.
...Live prey ?

Precisely.
A number of European zoos have kept Brown Bears with a variety of foxes or wolves. There's lots of examples.
Also, the Canadian zoo Sauvage Zoo of St-Felicien keeps Brown Bears with Bobcats, as shown in these photos from @TinoPup
I saw Brown Bears with 'Silver' Foxes at Tierpark Olderdissen in Germany:
Brown Bears were with Black Bears at Pairi Daiza (Belgium) in 2019:
Hybrid Brown/Polar Bear with 'Silver' Foxes at Osnabruck Zoo in Germany:

Just because you can cohabitate bears with other animals, should you really? (I know these aren't grizzlies per se, but same species and idea nevertheless)
What zoo was this???
Dierenrijk, in the Netherlands.
That being said, I saw once at a private zoo called "Yellowstone Bear World" where they had allowed their wolf pack access to the grizzly space. I believe this mix was short lived as they no longer have such an arrangement.
