The original name for GPT-2, as released by OpenAI, was simply "GPT-2". It did not have a different name prior to its release.

The description provided by OpenAI for GPT-2 was as follows
:OpenAI developed several variants of the GPT-2 model with different numbers of parameters. The main versions of GPT-2 released by OpenAI include:

1. GPT-2 Small: 124 million parameters
2. GPT-2 Medium: 355 million parameters
3. GPT-2 Large: 774 million parameters
4. GPT-2 Extra Large (XL): 1.5 billion parameters

GPT-2, which stands for "Generative Pre-trained Transformer 2", is a large-scale unsupervised language model that generates human-like text. It was trained on a dataset of 8 million web pages and is capable of generating coherent and contextually relevant sentences from a given prompt. GPT-2 is the successor to the original GPT model and features a more extensive architecture with 1.5 billion parameters, making it one of the largest and most powerful language models at the time of its release.
