GPT OSS 20B

by OpenAI

Released 56 days after O3 Pro ยท All OpenAI releases

GPT-OSS 20B is an open-weight Mixture-of-Experts language model released by OpenAI in August 2025 under the Apache 2.0 license, alongside the larger 120B variant. It has 20.9B total parameters with 3.6B active per token across 24 layers, and can run on devices with around 16GB of memory. The model matches or exceeds OpenAI o3-mini on common benchmarks while staying highly efficient. It supports reasoning, tool use with function calling, and structured outputs, fitting cost-conscious agentic workflows and local inference. Its MoE design selects the top 4 of 32 experts per token, with a 128k context window, giving developers a compact open-weight option that keeps strong reasoning capability.

Get started

Call GPT OSS 20B through the qynio gateway with one API key. Let your coding agent set it up, or call it directly โ€” qynio is drop-in compatible with the OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI SDKs.

Set it up with your agent

Copy this and paste it into a coding agent like Claude Code, Cursor or Codex and it'll wire up qynio for you.

Or call it directly

import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.QYN_API_KEY,
baseURL: "https://api.qyn.io/v3/compat",
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "aws/gpt-oss-20b-eu",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);
