OpenAI Coming to China?

OpenAI, a company that is taking the world's artificial intelligence (AI) field by storm, has just registered the trademarks "GPT-6" and "GPT-7" in the Chinese market.

According to SCMP , OpenAI has applied to trademark 'GPT-6' and 'GPT-7' for scientific research and technology and design purposes. The US company's application is currently under review by the National Intellectual Property Administration of China.

OpenAI currently has no services available in China or Hong Kong. Sources say the company that owns ChatGPT filed for trademarks 'GPT-4' in April and 'GPT-5' in July, but did not receive final approval.

ChatGPT was originally built on GPT-3.5, which had 175 billion parameters. OpenAI introduced a more advanced version of GPT-4 in March.

The American company has not yet revealed exactly how many parameters there are, but the Semafor news site has reported that the number of parameters in GPT-4 can be estimated at more than a trillion.

Last month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in an interview with The Financial Times that the company is working on GPT-5 and is planning to raise additional funding from Microsoft to further its research.

The interview was published just days before OpenAI’s board of directors made a shocking announcement that Altman had been fired. However, under pressure from investors and employees, the board was forced to reinstate the co-founder.

According to Reuters , one reason behind the decision to fire CEO Altman is said to be due to concerns that powerful AI developments could threaten humanity.

Inside OpenAI, some employees believe the project, codenamed “Q*,” could be a new breakthrough in artificial superintelligence (AGI).

Currently, AGI has not appeared yet, so it is defined differently, but generally understood as a form of "super intelligence", able to learn all knowledge, have awareness and surpass human intelligence.
