OpenAI launches GPT-Oss, its first open source model for equipment and devices

The company presented an open source AI model, which can be executed in laptops and commercial servers.

***

• GPT-Oss It comes in versions of 120,000 million and 20,000 million parameters.
  
• Is available under license Apache 2.0 For free commercial use.
  
• OpenAI seeks to compete with models such as Call and Deepseek.

Openai has surprised the artificial intelligence ecosystem by announcing the launch of GPT-Oss, Your first open source model in more than six years. This development marks a significant turn in the company’s strategy, which has been historically reserved with its products, and points directly to the developer community that has opted for more customizable open solutions and smaller cost.

The news was confirmed on Tuesday by researchers from OpenAI in the middle The Vergewho officially presented the model during an informative session with media. GPT-Oss It will be available in two versions: one of 120 billion parameters and a lighter of 20 billion. Both can be downloaded for free through platforms such as Hugging Face, Databricks, Azure and Awslicensed Apache 2.0, allowing its use and modification even for commercial purposes.

What is GPT-Oss And what makes it special?

GPT-Oss has been designed to offer similarities to the current mini closed models of OpenAI According to the company, the 120 billion version can be executed in a single NVIDIA GPU modern and offers comparable performance to the model O4-mini. For its part, the smallest version, with 20 billion parameters, can run on devices with just 16GB of RAM, facilitating its use in environments with limited resources.

Chris Cook, researcher OpenAi, declared during the event: “We wanted to fill the void and allow our customers to use our technology all over the line”. He added that a large part of its customers already use open models, and this initiative seeks to integrate more broadly to that ecosystem.

Beyond its accessibility, GPT-Oss is equipped to perform reasoning tasks, web navigation, code writing and operation of automated agents through the existing APIs of OpenAI However, the company has not revealed the data used to train the model or shared direct benchmarks against alternatives such as Call, Deepseek or Gemma.

A new security approach for open models

OpenAI He assured that GPT-Oss It is its most rigorously proven model in terms of security. He was subjected to external evidence by specialized signatures, focusing on preventing risks associated with cybersecurity or the generation of biological weapons. A prominent novelty is that the model shows its reasoning chain, allowing users to monitor possible deviations, errors or deceptive behaviors.

This visibility could represent an advance in the confidence that is deposited in open models, especially in a context where the traceability and ethics of models training are increasingly sensitive issues.

Greg Brockman, co -founder of OpenAi, He summarized the enthusiasm of the company with an informal but forceful phrase: “The team really took it out of the stadium with this model.”

A strategy to reconnect with the open source community

The decision to free GPT-Oss occurs after Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAi, recognized at the beginning of the year that the company had been “On the wrong side of the story” Not betting before open models. In that context, the rise of alternatives such as Deepseek It promoted internal reflection and a reevaluation of the opening strategy.

Although OpenAI has not announced a schedule for future versions of GPT-Oss, The intention is clear: to promote innovation, allowing more developers and small businesses to experiment with powerful models without access restrictions on closed commercial products.

“We have always believed that if you lower the entrance barrier, innovation shoots”Brockman said. “When you let people experience freely, they achieve incredibly surprising things.”

This new opening could have a deep impact on the IA panorama, which is increasingly inclined towards customizable, auditable models and adaptable to specific needs. GPT-Oss Not only represents a change in tone to OpenAi, but also a direct challenge to giants such as Goal (with flame) and google (with gemma), that have dominated the space of open models in recent years.

With this movement, OpenAI It seems to want to recover the leadership in a field where it had previously lagged. Time will say if the community responds with the same intensity that it has shown with other open source projects.
