GPT-OSS-20B vs Skywork-R1V3-38B

GPT-OSS-20B

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.

Kunlun Tech

Skywork-R1V3-38B, released by Kunlun Tech's Skywork AI team on July 9, 2025, is a 38 billion parameter multimodal reasoning model built on InternVL-38B with reinforcement learning post-training that enhances both visual and textual reasoning. It uses the GRPO algorithm and cold-start fine-tuning to improve reasoning across image and text modalities. Skywork-R1V3-38B targets open-source multimodal reasoning deployments requiring strong performance across vision-language benchmarks.
