Although it will be months before ICANN officials can whittle down the list of applications, sort out multiple requests for some TLDs, and ultimately decide who gets which one, Meta seems to be in the tech lead for attempts, with 21 requests, including .aiglasses, .facebook, .instagram, .llama, .messenger, .meta, .metaai, .metaglasses, .metaverse, .muse, .superintelligence, .threads, .vrs, .wearables and .whatsapp. It is also one of 13 organizations seeking to grab .agent.
OpenAI made 15 requests, for everything from the obvious, such as .chatgpt and .openai, to .asi, .codex, .deploy, .evals, .gpt, .mcp, .model, .oai and even .skill and .voice. It, too, is after .agent, and is one of seven trying to register .agi (signifying artificial general intelligence, AI’s Holy Grail).
Amazon submitted applications for eight TLDs, including .alexa, .echo, .eero, .kgs, .kuiper, .leo, .ring and .twitch. Despite its plethora of products, Microsoft only sought two: .msft and .copilot. OpenClaw also asked for two, specifically .claw and .oss, as did Anthropic, which only requested .anthropic and .claude.
