Is OpenAI coming to China soon?

OpenAI, the company that is taking the world by storm in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), has just registered trademark protection for "GPT-6" and "GPT-7" in the Chinese market.

According to SCMP , OpenAI has filed trademark applications for 'GPT-6' and 'GPT-7' for scientific research and technology-design purposes. The American company's applications are currently under review by the China National Intellectual Property Administration.

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. Last March, OpenAI introduced the more advanced GPT-4 version.

The American company has not disclosed the exact number of parameters, but the Semafor news site has 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 was also planning to raise additional funding from Microsoft to further the research.

This interview was published just days before OpenAI's board of directors made the shocking announcement of Altman's dismissal. However, under pressure from investors and company employees, the board was forced to reinstate the co-founder.

According to Reuters , one reason behind the decision to fire CEO Altman was reportedly concern that the rapid development of AI could threaten humanity.

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

Currently, AGI has not yet emerged, so its definition varies, but it is generally understood to be a form of "superintelligence" capable of learning any knowledge, possessing awareness, and surpassing even human intelligence.
