TechCrunch published an article after a Sam Altman post on X that OpenAi acquired Chat.com. An OpenAI spokesperson confirmed the acquisition to them via email.
Ron Jackson published an article in April on DN Journal about Hubspot Co-Founder and CTO Dharmesh Shah acquiring the name for $15.5M.
So Maybe like Facebook dropped the “The” ChatGPT.com will drop the GPT.
Chat.com is one of the older domains on the web, having been registered in September 1996. Last year, it was reported that HubSpot co-founder and CTO Dharmesh Shah acquired Chat.com for $15.5 million, making it one of the top two all-time publicly reported domain sales.
The domain name doesn’t appear to have changed hands since it sold last year, indicating that OpenAI isn’t hosting ChatGPT on Chat.com — so this probably doesn’t represent a brand change.
