xAI's Grok iOS app is querying "featureassets.org" which is an OpenAI domain

I was examining the DNS queries of the new Grok AI app on iOS. I observed that it sends requests to "featureassets.org", which OpenAI lists as one of their own domains. This caught my attention, given the rivalry between these two entities.

"OpenAI uses the below domains. Please make sure that they are not blocked in your company network by your IT team -> and that any web/URL filtering is not responding with unexpected content.

- featureassets.org "

OpenAI doesn't own that domain, they just use it. It's part of Statsig.
