gpt-oss-120b

OpenAI · released Aug 5, 2025

Small & fastOpen weights

OpenAI's largest open-weights model: a text-only reasoning model from August 2025 that can be self-hosted on a single H100-class GPU and fine-tuned. It trails OpenAI's API models by a wide margin, and no newer open-weights release has followed.

Best for: Self-hosting · Fine-tuning · Private deployments
