GPT-OSS 120B

GPT-OSS 120B is OpenAI’s largest Open Weights model as of August 2025, released under the Apache 2.0 license with free commercial use. The MoE architecture bundles 116.8 billion total parameters while activating only 5.1 billion per token, and runs on a single high-memory GPU thanks to native MXFP4 quantization. Three reasoning levels and native tool use in the Harmony format round out the profile.

Sovereign Risk: LOW OpenAI is a US company; the model is released as Open Weights under Apache-2.0. Local deployment completely eliminates any API data transfer to OpenAI servers, which is why the risk is rated as low despite US jurisdiction (CLOUD Act).
