OpenAI launches two open source AI models for local use

OpenAI has launched two significant open-source AI models, gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b, representing the first open-weight language models since GPT-2. The models, licensed under Apache 2.0, provide powerful performance while allowing for unrestricted modification and use.

The gpt-oss-120b requires a substantial setup with advanced GPUs, while the smaller gpt-oss-20b can function on consumer-grade hardware. Both models perform comparably to OpenAI’s premium offerings, excelling in coding, analysis, and mathematical tasks.
