Every factual gag in this duel comes from public reporting:
At DevDay 2026 (Sept 29) OpenAI unveiled 'Dots' - always-on agents, each with its own cloud computer and web browser, connecting to 4,000+ apps via ChatGPT, voice, Slack and Teams. It touted 20+ launches and one on-stage tier (Ultrafast) failed several times during the demo. — decrypt.co(2026-09-29)
Within hours of the Dots reveal, the domain dot.com was found redirecting to xAI's Grok download page; xAI owns the domain (records updated July 28) yet not the obvious typo domains, which the internet read as a troll of OpenAI's launch. — en.cryptonomist.ch(2026-09-30)
'Dots' is the consumer rebrand of OpenAI's configurable agents, internally codenamed 'aeon' (with 'o' and other names leaking in code); the enterprise 'Workspace agents' version shipped April 22, 2026. — progressiverobot.com(2026-09-29)
xAI's Colossus supercomputer in Memphis trains Grok and has grown toward about a gigawatt and hundreds of thousands of Nvidia GPUs across buildings nicknamed 'Macrohard' and 'Minihard'; in May 2026 Anthropic agreed to rent essentially all of Colossus 1's compute. — en.wikipedia.org(2026)
xAI announced on July 24, 2026 it would retire Grok's 3D avatar 'Companions' as an experiment; the characters remain only as text in normal Grok chat. — roborhythms.com(2026-07-24)
