I think they are doing that quite deliberately. Like Greg Brockman said when announcing their third product named Codex: “We call this system - (smiling) in the grand tradition of OpenAI naming—Codex” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhdpnbfH6NU
;-) I guess it’s too late to start a prediction market on whether gpt5 ends up being lowercased or without the dash before 5 (or with the “o” after 5) ;-) so many options, all tempting ;-)
am not at all involved in naming so not sure, but i’d guess none of it is intentional and more just the emergent result of compromise between a bunch of people / relatively little effort being expended on naming
I wonder who has the actual final decision power, after all deliberations and compromises, who is the person or a group actually saying, “yes, we are naming this new shiny thing as XYZ”.
Is it Sam? Or is there a meeting? Or is it just “organic”, like at some point discussions seem converge to that, and people just let it stay at whatever name it converged to?
