GPT-OSS-120B vs Seed 2.0 Pro

GPT-OSS-120B

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.

ByteDance

Seed 2.0 Pro is ByteDance's flagship general-purpose model, released in February 2026 under the Doubao brand through the Volcengine API platform, developed by the company's Seed research team as a foundation for agentic applications requiring long-horizon reasoning and multimodal input comprehension. The model accepts text, images, and extended video — including hour-length recordings — targeting enterprise use cases in long-form document analysis, agentic coding (integrated with ByteDance's TRAE IDE), and multi-turn reasoning tasks. It anchors a three-tier product family alongside Seed 2.0 Lite and Mini, positioned as ByteDance's response to frontier model competition in the Chinese and global enterprise AI markets.
