A more honest name would be Visual-Vicuna or Son-of-BLIP.
The model as a whole is just BLIP-2 with a larger linear layer, and using Vicuna as the LLM. If you look at their code it's literally using the entire BLIP-2 encoder (Salesforce code).
maybe even add an "a" for extra spice: Son-of-a-BLIP
The number of parameters used for GPT-4 is unknown.

So we're back to guessing ...
A couple of years ago Altman claimed that GPT-4 wouldn't be much bigger than GPT-3 although it would use a lot more compute.

OTOH, given the massive performance gains scaling from GPT-2 to GPT-3, it's hard to imagine them not wanting to increase the parameter count at least by a factor of 2, even if they were expecting most of the performance gain to come from elsewhere (context size, number of training tokens, data quality).
So in 0.5-1T range, perhaps ?

Outside of the brand name ChatGPT, lay members of the general public are way more likely to call these chatbots (like Bard and Bing) “AIs” than “GPTs”. And although GPT could technically refer to any model that uses a Generative Pre-trained Transformer approach (although it probably wouldn’t be an open-and-shut case), the mark “GPT-4” definitely is associated with OpenAI and their product, and you can’t just use it without their permission.
Let's not discuss the amount of copyright licenses OpenAI has already infringed, too
At Brewer’s Art in Baltimore, MD they just released a beer called GPT (Green Peppercorn Tripel)[1]. They’re likely allowed to do that because a reasonable consumer would probably not actually think they had collaborated with OpenAI, because OpenAI does not make beer.
OP is releasing a model called “MiniGPT-4”. A reasonable consumer could look at that name and become confused about the origin of the product, thinking it was from OpenAI. This would be understandable, since OpenAI also makes large language models and has a well known one that they’ve been promoting whose brand name is “GPT-4”. If MiniGPT-4 does not meet that consumer’s expectation of quality (which has been built up through using and hearing about GPT-4) it may cause them to think something like “Wow, I guess OpenAI is going downhill”.
Trademark cases are generally decided on a “reasonable consumer” basis. So yeah, they can seem a little arbitrary. But it’s important for consumers to be able to distinguish the origin of the goods they are consuming and for creators to be able to benefit from their investment in advertising and product development.
