GPT-OSS 120B

GPT-OSS 120B has been OpenAI’s largest Open Weights model since August 2025, released under the Apache 2.0 license with free commercial use. The MoE bundles 116.8 billion total parameters at only 5.1 billion active parameters 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.
