Recently, the top-level domain ai.com was found to redirect to the official website of the Chinese AI large model company DeepSeek. This marks the first time this domain has pointed to a Chinese AI company, as it had previously been bouncing between websites such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and x.ai.

The ai.com domain was originally registered in 1993, making it 30 years old. In 2023, after the surge in popularity of ChatGPT, the domain briefly redirected to the ChatGPT official website, and there were reports that OpenAI had offered $11 million to acquire the domain. However, this rumor was never officially confirmed, and the domain was later directed to Musk's xAI website. Yet, neither OpenAI nor Musk has publicly acknowledged ownership of the domain.

Now, the redirection of the ai.com domain to DeepSeek's official website has led many to interpret this change as the domain holder's attempt to "ride the wave" of DeepSeek's popularity. This move is seen as a reflection of DeepSeek's rapid rise on the global stage and its influence in the AI field. This change also highlights the increasing prominence of Chinese AI companies in the global technology competition.
