I had to take advantage of the $8.49 DCC Member Deal at @Godaddy. It's a price that makes it worth a few dice rolls.
This was my prompt to Toaster, my agent.
"If you don't pay for yourself this month, I have to get rid of you. Find me 10 domains related to compute, intelligence, or agents that I can resell in the next year to make your cost zero". Here is what he came up and registered
InferenceAge․com
TirelessWorkforce․com
TirelessMachines․com
AmbientWorkforce․com
HonestReasoning․com
PaymentsBrain․com
InfiniteReasoning․com
FrugalInference․com
EffortlessCompute․com
SalesReasoning․com
The BIG issue is Toaster couldn't finish the transaction for me because the API only quotes $12.99 and can't discount or adjust with the API. So I had to pretent like I was in 2025 and do it by hand. 😂

folks at @GoDaddy came through in the end and tracked down the seller.
i'm now the proud owner of firstindex.com! 🎉
A premium .com was listed on @GoDaddy. I purchased it. Seller never responded so purchase was cancelled.
What are my options here to get it? It was listed for sale so clearly the owner at least at some point wanted to part ways with it.

This view is better. It combines singular and plurals, as those will be contested.

Ramp acquired the Router.com domain name and launched its website / brand.
Router.com was bought via DomainNames.com. The buyer was represented by @lumis_com.

We bought router.com.
Now we're building the best one.
Our customers buy quadrillions of tokens every month through Ramp, and we've run our own AI on this router for 3 years to keep costs down.
Today it's yours at router.com

Proud that @GoDaddy signed the Open Weights and American AI Leadership letter.
Just like the web, Linux, Android, and so many other open platforms before it, the world is better off when advanced AI is something people can download, inspect, and build on.
More builders means more competition. More competition means broader access, real choice, and stronger security over the long run. Restricting that would be a loss for everyone.

Is this a new thing?
Got this email recently titled, "Someone else is interested in (domain).com." The domain is one I enquired about a few months ago.

For more than ten years, I tried to buy a domain name.
The domain name changed hands multiple times following corporate acquisitions. A couple of my offers were rejected, but my emails were usually not returned.
I engaged @GoDaddy DBS broker Jordan Cavanaugh to negotiate on my behalf. I was able to reach a deal, and the transaction closed yesterday.
I am very happy to now own Independence.com.
Thanks to Jordan for his insight and advice throughout.

Opus 4.7 is out! Live on our API, Claude Code, Cowork, and Claude chat.
Thing I'm noticing internally: people are re-scoping what they hand to the model. Work that got chunked into small pieces for 4.6 because it was too ambiguous or too long is now going in as one task.
