Just tried dots
A user tried "dots" and expressed disappointment that it cannot make calls and lacks a built-in feedback tool, despite being intended for those who prefer not to speak to people. On the positive side, the user noted its impressive speed. The cloud environment for "dots" runs Debian 13 Linux on an AMD EPYC 9V74 CPU with 9 logical CPUs, 9.7 GiB RAM, and 32 GB storage, but no GPU. The AI model operates separately from this sandboxed environment.

Tier is a per-source editorial setting, not a per-item score.
Let it filled some online forms, but found two major disappointments so far
- it can't make calls. Like whole point of using this is I am autistic and don't want to talk to people
- it doesn't even have built in feedback tool so you can't complain to it lol
Edit: on the bright side this thing is fast like really fast kinda make me doubt it's Astra haha
Edit: for anyone curious about the cloud computer spec, response from dots itself: I just checked the cloud environment available to me:
- OS: Debian 13 Linux, x86-64
- CPU: 9 logical CPUs visible; host reports AMD EPYC 9V74
- RAM: about 9.7 GiB, with 7.6 GiB currently available
- Storage: 32 GB filesystem, roughly 30 GB free
- GPU: none exposed
It’s a sandboxed environment; the host CPU name doesn’t mean I have its full 80 cores. The AI model itself runs separately
