Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
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.
Alibaba / Qwen
Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct is a 7-billion-parameter open-weight language model from Alibaba's Qwen team, released in September 2024 as part of the Qwen2.5 series trained on 18 trillion tokens with improved code, math, and multilingual coverage. The model delivers significantly stronger instruction-following, structured output generation, and long-context handling compared to its predecessor, supporting 128K context windows in a compact form factor. It became widely adopted as a foundation for fine-tuning, RAG pipelines, and on-device deployment due to its balance of capability and efficiency.
