Pretty sure OpenAI copyrighted the "GPT" suffix, so not sure what Kagi is naming an API this. I think OSS projects get a pass, but I'd imagine commercial competitors.
- spiderice 3y agoDo you have any source on this. A quick Google search says the opposite. Though it sounds like they may be in the process of trying to trademark it edit: copyright -> trademark
- cma 3y agoTrademark
- goosinmouse 3y agoYeah trademark. I submitted a fun and stupid little LLM chat app using GPT 3.5 and Apple had like four back and fourths on review until i removed every single reference to GPT and one time the reviewer got it to respond with GPT and they dinged me for that. Although that last one i just resubmitted without any real changes and it was approved after that.
- senectus1 3y agohas OpenAI trademarked "GPT"? Based on the context provided: OpenAI has applied for trademarks containing "GPT" with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in recent years, including: "GPT" in December 2022 [[1]] "GPT-5" in August 2023 [[2]] However, it is unclear if the USPTO has approved or rejected these applications. Some sources suggest OpenAI's application to trademark just "GPT" alone may be rejected, as it is a generic term. [[3]] OpenAI communicates they do not permit use of "GPT" in product or app names, as it could confuse users. [[4]] However, others argue it may not affect ability to build similar models, just prohibits using the name. [[5]] In summary, OpenAI has sought trademarks on "GPT" terms, but their status is uncertain. I do not have enough information to confirm if "GPT" itself has been fully trademarked.
- themoonisachees 3y agoIf they haven't been asserting their trademark then they may as well not have it. FastGPT isn't the first product to be named after GPT.
