OpenAI has finally released open-weight language models
OpenAI has released new open-weight large language models called "gpt-oss," available in two sizes and comparable to existing models on benchmarks. These models can be downloaded, run, and modified locally, unlike those on OpenAI's web interface. The release aims to cater to users frustrated by the lack of open models and to compete with Chinese models gaining popularity. OpenAI's move aligns with the US government's emphasis on open models and could help reestablish its position in the AI landscape. The models are released under a permissive license, facilitating customization and research.
