The network-layer coordinate for AI model protocol — where model communication becomes distributed infrastructure.
Model protocol at the network scale: the position for builders who see model communication as a distributed, connective fabric rather than a point-to-point API.

Why this is canonical
Where .com is the universal commercial address and .ai is the category identifier, .network signals that the protocol operates as distributed infrastructure — a fabric across which models communicate, not a hub-and-spoke API. This is the framing for decentralized, mesh-native, or multi-cloud model communication architectures.
