OpenAI
GPT-OSS-120B, released by OpenAI in August 2025, is an open-weight large language model with 120 billion parameters distributed under the Apache 2.0 license. It represents OpenAI's entry into the open-source model space, enabling developers to self-host and fine-tune a GPT-5-generation-class model. GPT-OSS-120B targets research applications, on-premises deployments, and custom fine-tuning workflows requiring a large open-weight base model.
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.
