Microsoft Brings Openai’s Smallest Open Model To Windows Users

Microsoft is making OpenAI’s caller free and unfastened GPT model, gpt-oss-20b, disposable to Windows 11 users via Windows AI Foundry, nan tech giant’s level that lets users pat AI features, APIs, and celebrated open-source models connected their computers.

The institution said successful a blog post that gpt‑oss-20b is “tool-savvy and lightweight,” adding: “Optimized for agentic tasks for illustration codification execution and instrumentality use, it runs efficiently connected a scope of Windows hardware, pinch support for much devices coming soon. It’s cleanable for building autonomous assistants aliases embedding AI into real-world workflows, moreover successful bandwidth-constrained environments.”

Launched connected Tuesday, OpenAI’s gpt-oss-20b tin tally connected user PCs and laptops pinch astatine slightest 16GB of VRAM, which a modern GPU from Nvidia aliases Radeon would have. OpenAI said nan exemplary was trained utilizing high-compute reinforcement learning, which helps it excel astatine powering AI agents and telephone tools, specified arsenic web hunt aliases Python codification execution, arsenic portion of its chain-of-thought process.

However, nan exemplary is text-only, meaning it will not beryllium capable to process aliases make images and audio for illustration nan company’s different models.

Also, nan exemplary has a wont of hallucinating a lot: gpt-oss-20b hallucinated successful consequence to 53% of questions connected PersonQA, OpenAI’s in-house benchmark for measuring nan accuracy of a model’s knowledge astir people.

Microsoft says it will bring nan exemplary to macOS soon, arsenic good arsenic different devices, though nan institution did not sanction immoderate more. Microsoft is besides making some gpt-oss-20b and older exemplary gpt-oss-120b disposable via its hosted Azure AI Foundry platform.

The 2 caller models are besides available connected Amazon’s AWS.
