OpenAI gpt-oss 20B is a 20B open-weight language model released under the Apache 2.0 license. It is well-suited for reasoning and function calling use cases. The model is optimized for deployment on consumer hardware.
The 20B model delivers similar results to OpenAI o3-mini on common benchmarks and can run on edge devices with 16GB of memory, making it ideal for on-device use cases, local inference, or rapid iteration without costly infrastructure.
