OpenAI releases free, downloadable models in competition catch-up

OpenAI has released two open-weight language models designed for advanced reasoning, with performance comparable to its smaller proprietary models (o3-mini and o4-mini). These models can run locally—one on a single GPU and the other even on personal laptops—offering flexibility for developers to analyze and fine-tune them without access to the original training data.

Open-weight models differ from open-source ones in that only the trained parameters are shared, not the full source code or training process. This marks OpenAI’s first open model release since GPT-2 in 2019.

The models—gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b—are particularly strong in coding, competitive math, and health queries, and were trained on a science- and math-focused text dataset. While they show strong performance, OpenAI has not yet released benchmark comparisons with rival models like DeepSeek-R1.
