According to SCMP , the American company filed trademark applications for 'GPT-6' and 'GPT-7' for scientific research and technology/design purposes.

The application is currently under review by the National Intellectual Property Administration of China.

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

ChatGPT was initially built on GPT-3.5, which has 175 billion parameters. In March, OpenAI introduced the more advanced GPT-4 version.

The company did not disclose the exact number of parameters, but Semafor reported that the number of parameters for GPT-4 could be estimated to be over one trillion.

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

The interview was released just days before the company's board of directors made the shocking announcement that Altman had been fired.

However, under pressure from investors and company employees, the board of directors was forced to reinstate the co-founder to his position.

Reuters reported that one reason behind Altman's dismissal was reportedly concern that the rapid development of AI could threaten humanity.

Within the company, some employees believed that the project, codenamed “Q*”, could be a breakthrough in artificial intelligence (AGI - general artificial intelligence).

Currently, AGI has not yet been defined, so it is defined differently by various sources, but it is generally understood as a form of "superintelligence" that can learn any knowledge, possesses awareness, and surpasses human intelligence.

Many famous people, such as physicist Stephen Hawking and billionaire Elon Musk, have also warned of the danger that AI could destroy the planet.

"Artificial intelligence could be the worst thing in human history. Sooner or later, it will become uncontrollable," Hawking repeatedly warned during his lifetime.
