OpenAI
GPT-5 mini, released by OpenAI in August 2025, is a smaller variant from the GPT-5 family that inherits GPT-5's unified reasoning architecture and multimodal capabilities at a reduced inference cost. It targets high-volume production use cases requiring a balance of intelligence and response speed, offering GPT-5 capabilities for applications where full GPT-5 inference costs are a concern.
OpenAI
GPT-OSS-20B is an open-weight large language model with 20 billion parameters from OpenAI's open-source model initiative. It targets deployments requiring a smaller, efficient model that can run on consumer or mid-tier hardware while maintaining strong reasoning and coding capabilities relative to its size.
