Overview
- Altman posted on X that the next ChatGPT iteration will be named “GPT 6-7.”
- The phrasing echoes the Gen Alpha catchphrase “6 7,” which Dictionary.com named Word of the Year the same day.
- Coverage notes there is no formal confirmation from OpenAI on the naming, leaving open whether it is a playful tease or a real product label.
- Altman has said GPT-6 will be significantly better than GPT-5, with GPT-7 expected to surpass GPT-6.
- He also claimed GPT-5 is already helping researchers in fields such as physics and biology, though he did not provide specific examples.
