If you are an active user of the OpenAI API and are developing your product using its API, pay attention to what phrases you can use in the communications concerning such a product:
✔ type of co-operation – since OpenAI also allows official partnership, if you are not an official partner, you cannot use terms referring to co-operation with OpenAI, indicating partnership etc. For instance:
❌ not allowed: collaborated with OpenAI, worked with OpenAI, building with OpenAI.
✔ order – first you use the name of either your company or your product, then “OpenAI” or a specific model. For instance:

not allowed: ChatGPT for XYZ, XYZ with GPT-4.
✔ model name – OpenAI pays attention to the correct use of the name of the model you are using (or the version from a certain date). It is also not allowed to use OpenAI or “GPT” models in product names. For instance:
✅ allowed: GPT-3/GPT-4, DALL·E API etc., while for specific versions, e.g. GPT-4 Mar 14 version. In general reference to OpenAI models, it is sufficient to use, e.g., powered by OpenAI,
