Akima:
At least Momo presumably needs to recharge her batteries. Possibly also back herself up into cloud storage? Run housekeeping tasks? Or perhaps Carl is correct and above a certain level all intelligences need to shut down external inputs (after all, we don't die when we go to sleep, our brains are quite active) to integrate the experiences of the day, and dream of electric sheep.

+1 Insightful
Now compare with the Emily/Pintsize interaction earlier on.
In one case, treatment as an equal, in the other as an object.
From Momo's expression, she's pretty pleased that Marigold so effortlessly made the transition. Possibly because she's a fundamentally nice person.
For extra credit - is Pintsize naturally a Fratboy Jerk, or is there something a bit less obnoxious beneath, hidden by a defence mechanism? Call that an exercise in seeing AIs as equals.... because we shouldn't give AIs lattitude that we wouldn't give others, nor deny them consideration.

@Comic:
I believe Pintsize might just have developed a taste for sleeping in the fridge next to some waffles.

Momo might, since she's an android now, but Pintsize is still just a robot so he can't yet.
Or maybe I'm over thinking this.
Is it cold in here?:
Momo does not need sleep.
