OpenAI’s Trademark Application Hints at GPT-5’s Arrival
In Brief
OpenAI has filed a trademark application for “GPT-5” with the US Patent and Trademark Office.
This move signals the potential arrival of a new and advanced iteration of OpenAI’s language model.
The application indicates that GPT-5 may offer computer software for various language-related tasks.
OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has submitted a trademark application for “GPT-5.” This filing was lodged with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on July 18, signaling a potential new iteration of its language model. Trademark attorney Josh Gerben shared the news on Twitter on July 31.
GPT-5 is speculated to be the next iteration of OpenAI’s advanced language model. It could potentially represent a significant advancement in natural language processing and artificial intelligence capabilities. However, the specific features and improvements of GPT-5 are yet to be officially confirmed by OpenAI.
According to the trademark, GPT-5 offers downloadable and online non-downloadable “computer software for the artificial production of human speech and text”; downloadable and online non-downloadable “computer software for natural language processing, generation, understanding, and analysis.”
GPT-5 is speculated to be the next powerful version of OpenAI’s generative chatbot, following the release of GPT-4. According to the developer Siqi Chen, GPT-5 is expected to complete training by the end of the year, and it could achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). AGI aims to create intelligent systems capable of performing any intellectual task that a human can do without explicit programming.
If GPT-5 attains AGI, it could significantly enhance AI-enabled productivity and save time by automating complex cognitive tasks. However, there are concerns and opposing views, with some suggesting that AGI might not be achievable through GPT’s current methods.
A few months ago, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman disclosed during a speech at MIT that the company is not currently training GPT-5. He addressed the letter, signed by numerous tech experts, including Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak, which expressed concerns about the risks associated with rapidly developing powerful AI systems beyond GPT-4.
However, the application does not provide confirmation of GPT-5’s immediate development. While it is highly likely that OpenAI has plans for an advanced language model in the future, the primary purpose of the trademark application might be to secure the name “GPT-5” to prevent others from using it.
