There are about a half dozen more.
I'm laughing at the domain squatter that bought 900.ai, 99999.ai, and 1234567.ai
This has to be the worst possible thing to name your company.

01.ai is pretty cool name and domain … for sure beats grok or calling something open when it is actually closed.
I guess numeric IDs like that were a consequence of early tech making it hard to deal with more complex character sets ... maybe the association lives on in those cultures?
There's also deeper associations with numbers like 8 representing luck, 4 meaning death etc.
(I don't know what this one means, but it probably is one.)
Seem like the Chinese name of the company is 零一万物 which could translate as "Zero One All Things" - not a bad name for a tech company.
6 sounds like the character 溜 which technically means something like smooth flowing but is used to compliment someone's well-practiced skills.
"666" is often said when someone does something impressive and smoothly. Like if someone double-flips a pancake and it lands perfectly, that's the kind of situation you'd say "666" to compliment them.
