Sharing a post on X (formerly Twitter), Altman wrote: \u201cGPT-6 will be renamed GPT-6-7, you&#8217;re welcome\u201d. The decision follows after Dictionary.com announced 6-7 as 2025 Word of the Year. While Altman\u2019s post does not mention any co-relation between the two incidents, it surely has sparked conversations online. <\/p>\n<p>What 6-7 means<\/p>\n<p>As defined by Dictionary.com, 67, also spelled \u201c6-7\u201d or \u201csix-seven\u201d (not \u201csixty-seven,\u201d to be clear), is a viral, ambiguous slang term that has waffled its way through Gen Alpha social media and school hallways. While the term is largely nonsensical, some argue it means \u201cso-so,\u201d or \u201cmaybe this, maybe that,\u201d especially when paired with a hand gesture where both palms face up and move alternately up and down, the website says.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI&#8217;s Master Plan for India<\/p>\n<p>People also use 67 as a way to respond to questions or as a result of seeing the numbers \u201c67\u201d in consecutive order in the wild, such as on a math problem or within a phone number. (\u201cHow tall are you?\u201d \u201c67.\u201d \u201cHow are you today?\u201d \u201c67.\u201d \u201cWhat\u2019s 120 minus 53?\u201d \u201c67.\u201d)\u201cBecause of its murky and shifting usage, it\u2019s an example of brainrot slang and is intended to be nonsensical and playfully absurd,\u201d it says.67 is thought to have originated from the drill song \u201cDoot Doot (6 7)\u201d by Skrilla, which repeats \u201csix-seven\u201d as a hook. It was likely also popularized through videos about NBA players such as LaMelo Ball, who\u2019s 6\u20197\u2033.Viral clips on TikTok and Instagram paired the song \u201cDoot Doot (6 7)\u201d with basketball visuals as far back as October 2024, and, shortly thereafter, with a meme template.<\/p>\n<p>Sam Altman\u2019s post sparks conversation<\/p>\n<p>As always, Twitter users had a mixed reaction to Altman\u2019s post. One user sarcastically commented on his post writing \u201cNaming conventions are temporary. Confusion is forever.\u201dAnother humorously wrote \u201cMy teenagers automatically hate you for that.\u201d\u201cAs long as it comes with 6-7 more GWs of data centers idc what you call it,\u201d commented a third. \u201cSam stole millions of Gen Alpha users with this naming,\u201d joked another user. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that the ChatGPT\u2019s next version will be named GPT-6-7.
