There is a certain justice in the use of OpenAI as a name for their product, given that OpenAI has turned the generic technical GPT name into a brand.

GPT is not a brand. A court ruling turned down that notion. It's a technology.

That only means it’s not a legally recognised brand, but it is a brand nonetheless if people associate the two (and they do). A bit like the way people associate tissue paper with Kleenex, or photocopies with Xerox, or git with GitHub.

And that they launch new models so often that GPT could mean 3.5, 4, 4o mini, or 4, just to name the ones I know off the top of my head.

The generative pretrained transformer was invented by OpenAI, and it seems reasonable for a company to use the name it gave to its invention in its branding.

Of course, they didn't invent Generative pretraining (GP) or transfomers (T) but AFAIK they were the first to publicly combine them
