OpenAI put artificial intelligence (AI) back in the public discourse amid its launch of ChatGPT late last year. Since then, OpenAI has released different iterations of ChatGPT, with ChatGPT-4 launching in March.
In April, OpenAI founder Sam Altman said the company still had a lot of work to do with ChatGPT-4 before working on the fifth version of the AI chatbot and search engine.
OpenAI allows users to use ChatGPT for free, but charges customers to use the latest, most powerful model. Now, OpenAI has filed for a trademark for ChatGPT-5 — a sign that a more advanced version of ChatGPT may be coming soon.
