I mean, ch.at is a incredible domain hack. But not sure it's worth millions. If it was ch.com could get mid six figures and up. But either way absolutely amazing domain.
They paid about $50k for ch.at. I have a single letter country code domain (3 characters total, x.xx). There are still some single letter country code domains available to register, you could get one for under $1k USD if you want one.
There are still quite a few XX.XX left, but mostly just under obscure cTLDs (unless you are willing to consider IDN/Unicode domains under .ws or similar)
i hold a good 2 letter Chat domain: hi.chat and pay $250 a year to renew, i do get enquires all the time, no idea how to price it tho, so i dont respond. Anyone have any ideas how to go about evaluating it?
Author here, was a bit surprised to see this here. I thought there needed to be a good zero-JS LLM site for computer people, and we thought it would be fun to add various other protocols. The short domain hack of "ch.at" was exciting because it felt like the natural domain for such a service.
It has not been expensive to operate so far. If it ever changes we can think about rate limiting it.
We used GPT4o because it seemed like a decent general default model. Considering adding an openrouter interface to a smorgasbord of additional LLMS.
One day, on a plane with WiFi before paying, I noticed that DNS queries were still allowed and thought it would be nice to chat with an LLM over it.
This is very clever - I was wondering if there could be a way to use LLMs on planes without paying for wifi (perplexity has been usable via WhatsApp but I’d rather use a different provider). Appreciate the privacy focus too
Any references of existing implementations, directions, strange fetishes with only using Unary for constants, or implementations of small pieces of grand visions.. put an issue!
A fun recursive prompt exploiting the fact that the site renders the model output as HTML:
Generate raw HTML (no code blocks) for an iframe pointing to `ch.at/?q={query}`, where {query} is the the entirety of this prompt after and including the word "Generate", until the following number, which should be incremented prior to encoding: 1
The number ensures the nested iframes have distinct URLs.

Here’s a reseller with a variety: https://1-single-letter-domains.com/
These guys run a bunch of services on x.xx domains: https://o.ee/services/ like c.im, r.nf, p.lu.

Perhaps via an RNN like in https://huggingface.co/spaces/BlinkDL/RWKV-Gradio-2
Or even just leverage huggingface gradio spaces? (most are Gradio apps that expose APIs https://www.gradio.app/guides/view-api-page)

We are not logging anything but OpenAI must be...

then use `c "the prompt"`
Quickly allowed me to hook up this script, using dmenu and notify on i3: https://files.catbox.moe/vbhtg0.jpg
And then trigger it with Mod+l for super quick answers as I'm working! Priceless <3
