One version of the gpt-oss large language model can run on a laptop, and performs nearly as well as the company’s most powerful models.

For the first time in more than five years, OpenAI is launching a new open language model that appears to be state-of-the-art.

OpenAI is aiming the new models at customers who want the cost savings and privacy benefits that come from running AI models directly on their own devices rather than relying on cloud-based services like ChatGPT or its rivals.
