The GPT-OSS model allows users to download, customize and operate directly on personal devices without an Internet connection.
This is considered a notable move by OpenAI in reaching out to the developer community and general users, after a long time focusing on commercial products running on cloud platforms.
GPT-OSS comes in two versions: a 120 billion parameter model and a 20 billion parameter model, to meet the diverse needs of hardware configurations. The 120 billion parameter version, equivalent to GPT-4o mini (released in April), can run on personal computers with Nvidia graphics cards and a minimum of 16GB of RAM. This version is designed to balance response speed and inference capabilities.
Meanwhile, the 20 billion parameter version is optimized for devices with more modest configurations, equivalent to GPT-3.5 mini. Despite its smaller scale, this model can still perform basic tasks such as answering questions, writing text, or supporting encryption.
According to OpenAI, GPT-OSS is capable of running programming tasks, supporting application building, and acting as an AI agent through an attached programming library. Allowing models to be run directly on personal devices is expected to increase data control and reduce dependence on network connections.
On the safety front, OpenAI says the model has been audited by external security organizations. GPT-OSS is built with the ability to refuse to respond to requests that violate usage rules, especially in sensitive areas such as cybersecurity or bioweapons development.
The release of GPT-OSS comes amid growing interest in open-source AI models due to their flexibility, low cost, and self-driving capabilities. Several open-source models such as DeepSeek have attracted great attention from the global AI community in recent times.
Before that wave, OpenAI was criticized for being late to the open trend. CEO Sam Altman admitted that the company "got off on the wrong foot" by not developing open source models early. GPT-OSS is seen as an effort to adjust its strategy to meet the needs of the application development community.
GPT-OSS is currently distributed through Microsoft's Windows AI Foundry platform for Windows operating systems. A macOS version is expected to be released in the near future.
Although primarily aimed at programmers, the GPT-OSS model can also be used by individual users for routine tasks. Running the model locally is expected to enhance privacy, given the many data security concerns that arise from AI models running online.
