.

The redirect was announced on X.com on Wednesday when Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, posted a tweet containing just the URL, chat.com.

The announcement prompted immediate speculation from X.com users about whether OpenAI was going to drop the “GPT” part of the name altogether.

The chat.com domain was previously owned by Dharmesh Shah, the founder and CTO of HubSpot, who claimed in a
