Your loss. GPT is a term of art in the industry. It isn’t owned by OpenAI.
- croes 3y agoBut GPT4 is associated with OpenAI
- manyoso 3y agoGPT4 is like SearchEngine4
- Uehreka 3y agoThis argument came up on the post about MiniGPT-4 earlier. The thing is, it’s not us you need to convince. If OpenAI starts hitting you with takedown notices, your hosting providers aren’t going to hear your arguments and go “Ah, ya got us on this one!” Granted, maybe OpenAI will decide not to go after you, it’s up to them in the end. But if their lawyers feel these projects threaten to genericize the “GPT-4” trademark, they will be obligated to issue takedowns or they’ll risk claims that they aren’t defending their mark.
- manyoso 3y agoAnd if they do that they will really be putting to bed that openai is not so open won't they and have strayed far from their founding goals. But I don't believe they will do this. Lots of good people at OpenAI who I think can/will stand up to any money lords who've come into the place.

- Uehreka 3y agoThey did this to DALL-E Mini, that’s why they had to change their name to craiyon. This highly visible action did not seem to sway public opinion on OpenAI much. The whole “they aren’t actually open” thing is already priced in to people’s opinions. OpenAI’s models are so important that people have to put that to the side.
- manyoso 3y agoI agree that the idea that openai isn't so "open" is now baked in. But shaming is still having an effect. Have received responses from people inside openai who appreciate this project.
- mannyv 3y agoYour attempt at hiding your marketing driven decision is lame. You're obviously trying to leverage the OpenAI name. I mean, you could have called it gpt5, because it's 5x better. But you didn't.
- manyoso 3y agoWe take the 4all seriously. Everything we've put out is under Apache 2.0 or MIT license.
- tudorw 3y agoPerhaps the name is a pun on 'for all' and a dig at OpenAI's lack of, well, openness.
- newswasboring 3y agoIt absolutely is that, but they should have made a cleverer pun because this one is misleading for noobs and general audience.
- hackernewds 3y agoOpenAI owns incremental numbering of a common term?
- diffeomorphism 3y agoYou mean like windows 11 or office 2023? Yes, absolutely.
- throwawayadvsec 3y agohey I just made Car2, but it actually has 2 wheels 1 seat and no engine...what do you mean it's a bicycle?
- dexterdog 3y agoUnfortunately not too many people want bike without engines these days.
- seydor 3y agoActually they do have a trademark on the words GPT GPT-3 and GPT-4. Interestingly, no application for GPT-5 Maybe it's best if the open source sticks with LLM or some other term, and popularize that instead
