Abstract

This document proposes Internet 2.0, an AI-native extension of the traditional web architecture. Unlike the current internet—which is designed primarily for document retrieval—Internet 2.0 enables distributed model discovery, intent-based routing, and protocol-level AI interaction. Core components include HTTP+AI, an AI-aware extension to HTTP; the Model Resolution Network (MRN), an AI-native analogue to DNS; and the AI-Aware Browser, a new class of client optimized for intelligent interaction rather than document traversal. This architecture treats AI models as first-class network entities and provides a foundation for a decentralized, semantic, and privacy- preserving AI layer on the internet.
