Nov 07, 2024, 1:12 a.m. ET

Asianfin -- OpenAI has purchased the domain name *chat.com*, following its acquisition of *ai.com*. The new domain is seen as a more fitting choice for the ChatGPT platform, aligning better with the conversational nature of the service. Now, accessing ChatGPT requires just six to eight characters, simplifying the user experience.

Online speculation suggests that OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, may have paid between $1,500 and $2,000 for the domain. This acquisition positions *chat.com* among the most expensive domain names ever sold.
