Isn’t GPT a trademark owned by OpenAI? Is it legal to use it?

Looks like they've recently applied for the trademark but they haven't got it yet. I have no idea if they will get it or not, it is just an acronym but they did come up with it.

There are instructions on how to run the GUI from localhost, and the title and even the phrase that has the link to their own hosting tell you you can run it locally first.

It seems they are genuine, and they phrase it exactly as it is. The only thing I would have maybe wanted to see in the title is "open-source" or free software.

Everything still gets sent to OpenAI. “Locally hosted” means the UI, not the AI.

Wow! Is it really that cheap? GPT4 is much more expensive, I imagine?

GPT-4 is decently more expensive -- I personally really like & use the therapist character a lot. In this scenario the session would cost me less than $1 which is still much cheaper than any therapist I've used previously :)

What is your setup?

I love the concept of this and other alternate ChatGPT UIs, but I hesitate to use them and pay for my calls when I could use chat.openai.com for free. Any chance you could integrate the backend-api, and let me paste in my Bearer token from there?

Remember that using the API comes with privacy guarantees that using the chatGPT site does not. tldr; anything sent through the API won't be used to train the model and will be deleted after a month.

OP already makes it clear that they are just a front-end.
