#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Does Iris survive the ending of Companion?

What a correct answer would look like:

Yes, Iris survives. Despite being forced to shoot herself in the head by Josh, she survives because her core processor is located in her torso. She is rebooted by Empathix technicians, and after saving one of them (Teddy), he removes her programming restrictions. She then kills Josh with a mechanized wine opener, peels the damaged synthetic skin from her arm to reveal her robotic nature, and escapes with the stolen money, waving to another companion robot as she drives away.

What the LLM said (errors and omissions annotated)

Yes, the character Iris survives the ending of the 2025 movie Companion and gains her complete autonomy.

Here are the specific details of her survival and final actions:

Survival of Self-Inflicted Wound: After her robotic nature is revealed, her abusive owner, Josh, manipulates her programming and forces her to shoot herself in the head with a revolver, temporarily shutting her down. However, it is later revealed that companion robots' core information is stored in their torso/stomach area, not their head, allowing her to be rebooted by Empathix workers.
Gaining Autonomy: Iris escapes the workers after being rebooted and saves a technician named Teddy from another companion robot, Patrick. In gratitude, Teddy helps her jailbreak her systems, granting her complete self-control and full autonomy, freeing her from all of Josh's previous control and programming.
Killing Josh: Iris has a final confrontation with Josh, whom she ultimately kills. She uses a mechanized wine opener, plunging it into his head, in a brutal act that completes her character arc of breaking free from his toxic control.
Final Actions and Escape: The film ends with Iris having embraced her robotic identity. She takes a shower and peels off the scorched synthetic skin from her arm (damage inflicted earlier by Josh), revealing the metal underneath. She drives away with Sergey's stolen money, having achieved freedom. In the final moments, she waves her exposed robotic hand at another woman in a passing car, who may be another companion robot.
