    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides open-weight GPT language models optimized for reasoning and agentic tasks with configurable inference implementations.
    • Enables running large-scale models on single GPUs using MXFP4 quantization with permissive Apache 2.0 licensing for flexible use.
    • Use for deploying high-reasoning AI applications on powerful GPUs with the gpt-oss-120b model for production workloads.
    • Use for low-latency, local, or specialized AI tasks on limited hardware with the smaller gpt-oss-20b model.
    • Use for integrating advanced language models with tools like browsing and Python execution in custom AI agent workflows.

    Welcome to the gpt-oss series, OpenAI's open-weight models designed for powerful reasoning, agentic tasks, and versatile developer use cases.

    We're releasing two flavors of these open models:

    Both models were trained using our harmony response format and should only be used with this format; otherwise, they will not work correctly.
