According to the US Patent Office, OpenAI has filed an application for a GPT-5 trademark.

CTOnews.com August 1 news, OpenAI launched GPT-4 in March this year, the capabilities and wind reviews of the model are at the top of the industry, and even become synonymous with the "AI model", and even caused panic in the industry. CTOnews.com reported earlier that people in the technology circle led by Musk asked "OpenAI to stop studying GPT-5 research and development for the time being".

However, according to the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), OpenAI applied to register the trademark of "GPT-5" on the 18th of last month.

▲ source U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) from the perspective of trademark information, GPT-5 will provide text generation, natural language understanding, voice transcription, translation, analysis and other functions.

However, OpenAI said at a conference hosted by the Economic Times of India in early June that "we have not yet started training GPT-5, the successor to GPT-4". Sam Altman, chief executive of OpenAI, had previously said, "they still have a lot of work to do before we start training GPT-5. We are studying the new ideas we think are needed, but we are certainly not ready to start."

It is not clear whether OpenAI started GPT-5 training within these two months, so the trademark may only be registered for protective purposes.
