The world of artificial
intelligence buzzes with the announcement of the registration of the GPT-5
trademark by OpenAI.
This event marks a
significant step into the future of AI technology, with potential implications
for industry, research, and innovation.
But what do we know about GPT-5, and what are the first hints and details we can glean? In this article, we'll explore everything there is to know about this exciting new development.

What is GPT-5
GPT-5, the next generation of OpenAI's language model, has
reportedly confirmed its existence. The next generation of OpenAI's successful
language model is on its way.
Trademark Registration Details
OpenAI applied to register the trademark "GPT-5"
with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office).
The application, filed on July 18, 2023, covers a broad
range of software related to language modeling and AI.
The registration is under review but could signal an
official launch soon. This step follows the registration of GPT-4 on March 13,
2023, followed by an online publication a few weeks later.
ChatGPT-5 Coming Soon
The trademark registration covers several categories,
including programs and software related to language models, artificial text production,
natural language processing, generation, and analysis.
There are indications that GPT-5, the new version of the
powerful artificial intelligence (AI) model created by OpenAI, is on its way.
Although in June of this year, Sam Altman, CEO of the
organization, said that it was still a long time before we could see the new
version of the tool in operation. However, the trademark registration
application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office has sparked
speculation.
During his Senate hearing last May, Altman explained that
OpenAI had no plans to begin training the new artificial intelligence model for
at least the next six months.
Furthermore, in response to the letter signed by more than
1,100 people (including Elon Musk and Noah Harari), the executive said that
GPT-5 was not yet in training as the letter indicated.
The registration of the GPT-5 trademark could mean many
things. At a recent event, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, discussed the development
of GPT-5, stressing that there is still much work to be done.
Josh Gerben, an attorney with expertise in trademark
registration, alerted about OpenAI's move from his X (formerly Twitter)
account. He wrote: "OpenAI has filed a new trademark application for:
'GPT-5'. The filing was made with the USPTO on July 18."

In truth, registering the name "GPT-5" could serve
as a means to protect it and avoid being bound to the development of the new
version of the tool.
The trademark registration is a promising sign; all eyes
will be on OpenAI in the coming months.
GPT-5 Features
If you've used ChatGPT, you already know what it's capable
of. The paid version of the tool uses GPT version 4, which is considerably
faster and more powerful than the free version, 3.5.
For example, the short-term memory of GPT-4 is 64,000 words,
versus 8,000 in the GPT-3.5 version.
In addition, the company trained the paid version with 100
billion parameters, making it much faster, whereas they prepared the free
version with 175 million parameters.
New features include converting audio data to text, speech,
and voice recognition for content generation.
These features open new avenues for human-machine
interaction, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of AI-based systems.
However, the application signals progress in AI technology,
particularly in natural language processing and machine learning.
It could also signal a commitment by OpenAI to improve and
refine its models, addressing current challenges such as accuracy and energy
efficiency.
What to Expect from GPT-5
While we can only speculate on OpenAI's next steps, one
likely goal for the company will be to address current challenges, such as high
costs and model imperfections. Whether GPT-5 can fill these gaps is an open
question.
What is certain is that the end of summer could see ChatGPT
powered by GPT-5, marking an exciting new chapter in the evolution of AI.
GPT-5 is expected to be able to understand and process natural language more accurately and sincerely to give users more consistent answers. In addition, OpenAI is looking to improve the energy efficiency of the tool.
