Product launch: xAI
One event, one record — every framing of this event across news coverage and the crowd’s pricing resolves to this one key, so nothing fragments. Tracked since 2026-05-29; last seen 2026-08-11.
This event publishes a maintained truth record — /api/truth/product-launch-xai (also via the get_truth_object MCP tool). Layer clocks are stated per layer there; the “last seen” above is this card’s coverage-and-pricing clock.
Dormant record: the crowd hasn’t priced this since 2026-08-11. The record stays maintained; the prices and questions below reflect that last-priced date, not today.
Surfaced from prediction-market pricing: we cite the crowd’s questions here as a consensus sensor, not as an event we’ve independently reported.
