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.
OpenAI
OpenAI o3, released by OpenAI in April 2025, is a large reasoning model that applies extended chain-of-thought processing to deliver improved performance on complex math, science, and coding tasks. It features a 200K token context window and native image understanding, with demonstrated strong results on mathematics and software engineering benchmarks. o3 targets demanding analytical and engineering tasks where deliberate, multi-step reasoning produces significantly better outcomes than direct generation.
