OpenAI files a trademark for GPT-5
(uspto.report)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I was curious as to what this implies, so I did some quick/superficial googling. The page in the OP has a Yes next to Intent To Use - this appears to mean they have a good faith intention to make commercial use of the trademark within the next 6 months. If for whatever reason they could not make use of it within that time, they can file extension requests indicating good cause for being unable to do so, for six months at a time, up to 5 times. So, OpenAI ostensibly intends to make available a commercial product named GPT5 within the next 6 months (or up to 36 if there are unforeseen delays). So, probably before mid-january.
I welcome corrections from people with actual knowledge, I just did some quick googling because I was curious and thought I might as well share what I found.
if they fail to provide significant upgrade they can always half ass and provide incremental upgrade and call it a day
"We meant GPT-S!"
