They should just call it FreeGPT that's what FreeBSD did. So did FreeNAS, FreePascal and FreeType.

But it's clear and obvious to me that they saw GPT2 then GPT3 and thought well let's pun on it with GPT4.

First line of the wiki you link

> Generative pre-trained transformers (GPT) are a family of large language models (LLMs),[1][2] which was introduced in 2018 by the American artificial intelligence organization *OpenAI*

Emphasis added.

Digression, but why do they call it "pre-trained"? Don't they train it from scratch? Or is the point that they pretrain it and it's intended only for downstream fine tuning ok specific tasks? If so, does ChatGPT use a fine-tuned version? Is the non-finetuned version good for anything on its own?

I'm sorry but that doesn't track. There's no need to be this agressive.
