From GPT-2 to gpt-oss: Analyzing the Architectural Advances
And How They Stack Up Against Qwen3
OpenAI just released their new open-weight LLMs this week: gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b, their first open-weight models since GPT-2 in 2019. And yes, thanks to some clever optimizations, they can run locally (but more about this later).
This is the first time since GPT-2 that OpenAI has shared a large, fully open-weight model. Earlier GPT models showed how the transformer architecture scales. The...
