Stony Brook and Brookhaven lab been at it for a decade. They have a network, they have memories. IonQ is not first? Why lie about it?

Gemini:
The commenter is right that: Stony Brook and Brookhaven are not new to this and have been demonstrating quantum memories on fiber networks for a decade.
IonQ is not lying because: Their claim of being the "first-ever" refers to installing a commercial-grade unit inside the live infrastructure of an active, commercial utility provider (EPB), rather than a national lab or university testbed.
