An invitation-only auction is proposed for the entrepreneurs and AI companies shaping the Super Intelligence age. Before any auction proceeds, a private acquisition offer could secure SI.com outright, subject to Authentic’s acceptance.
Enquire About A Private AcquisitionThe founders pursuing Super Intelligence are thinking in decades, investing at extraordinary scale and competing to shape what comes next. Their ambition deserves a name with the same breadth. SI.com can stand for a company, a flagship platform or an entire vision of the future.
AI.com names Artificial Intelligence. SI.com can name Super Intelligence. Together, those two domain names capture a powerful progression: the technology that changed the present, and the ambition to define what follows. For the entrepreneur who sees that future, SI.com is a statement of intent.
A product name describes a product. SI.com can express an entire field of ambition. It pairs the initials of Super Intelligence with .com, giving a founder the freedom to build a brand as expansive as the technology itself.
Capital can fund more compute, more research and more talent. It cannot create a second SI.com. There is only one exact match, and only one owner can control it. That scarcity makes the acquisition a strategic choice for an entrepreneur thinking beyond the next product launch.
Sports Illustrated gave these two letters a place in sporting history. A future owner could give them a new meaning in technology. Any acquisition would require an agreed transition; the domain name and a broader Sports Illustrated asset package are distinct transaction possibilities.
Two letters that can name the next industrial revolution. Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how the world works, creates and discovers. Super Intelligence expresses the ambition to take that transformation further. SI.com can give that ambition its defining name.
AI.com changed hands in a private transaction in 2025 for a reported US$70 million, with the price disclosed in February 2026. It illustrates the strategic significance a founder can attach to the exact .com domain name of a technology category.
The thesis for SI.com is forward-looking: an opportunity for a billionaire entrepreneur or major AI corporation to own the name that could express its highest ambition. The AI.com sale is a reference point, not a valuation of SI.com.

A private acquisition offer could pre-empt the potential auction. The proposed outright acquisition price is US$1 billion, subject to Authentic’s agreement. Enquiries and offers will be presented to Authentic for consideration; no right to purchase has been granted.
