A leak circulating on X claims OpenAI is working on an always-on agent called Aeon, positioned as "ChatGPT's answer to Grok Bot" from xAI. The rumor, shared by koltregaskes citing an image from @btibor91, has no official confirmation yet — no release timing, capability details, or platform specifics are known. If true, it would mean OpenAI is following xAI in shipping a persistent, proactively-running agent.
