OpenAI Launches Open Models gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b
OpenAI is launching gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b, two open-weight models that can be run locally and adapted for private servers and computers.
What happened?
OpenAI has launched two new open language models, gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b. Unlike the company's closed models powering ChatGPT, these are so-called open-weight models, granting users access to the models' parameters for customisation and local execution. The smaller model, gpt-oss-20b, can be run on a laptop with 16 gigabytes of RAM, while the larger gpt-oss-120b requires a graphics card. The models can perform tasks such as text generation and code writing.

Why it matters
The launch marks a move by OpenAI to release open-weight models capable of running locally on consumer and enterprise hardware. This allows organisations to fine-tune parameters according to specific requirements on their own servers without transmitting data to OpenAI’s cloud environment.
Who is affected?
The launch targets developers, researchers, and organisations seeking to customise language models and run them on private servers or local hardware rather than through proprietary APIs. Companies with a need for internal data processing can deploy the models on their own infrastructure.
Impact on the EU
The models are open-weight and capable of local execution, meaning users and companies in the EU can download and host them on their own infrastructure without relying on external cloud services.
What else you should know
OpenAI has not disclosed the training data used to develop gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b.
