OpenAI introduces free customizable AI models: Price, features and more
The company stated that the text-only models have been specially designed to be used as lower-cost options, which can be easily run and customized by developers and researchers.
OpenAI releases lower-cost models
OpenAI's latest release comes after tech giants like Meta and Mistral AI, backed by Microsoft, as well as Chinese startup DeepSeek, unveiled their open-weight models in the past few years.
According to CNBC, the AI model is considered open weight when all its parameters or elements that have been utilized to improve the output and prediction at the time of training are publicly made available. Such models not only offer control and transparency in the respective field, but also remain quite different from the open-source models, where the full source code is made available to customers to modify and use.
OpenAI President Greg Brockman said it is "exciting" to see the developing ecosystem and that the company is looking forward to contributing to it. "...we are excited to contribute to that and really push the frontier and then see what happens from there,' the outlet quoted Brockman as saying.

All about OpenAI's new models
Among the two models, gpt-oss-120b is large and holds the capability to run on a single Nvidia GPU, while the gpt-oss-20b model is the lighter version to run on a consumer laptop having 16GB of memory. The two models, which have been dubbed "state-of-the-art," remain freely available to download from the Hugging Face platform.
For this project, OpenAI partnered with Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, Cerebras, and Groq to see how the models work on various chips. In a statement, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that OpenAI has shown "what could be built on Nvidia AI — and now they're advancing innovation in open-source software.'
During a briefing, the company highlighted that its new open models are capable of sending complex queries to AI models in the cloud. This means whenever it is unable to perform a specific task, then the developers will be able to connect it to the more capable closed models of the company, per TechCrunch.
The two new AI models, gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b, underwent a coding test on Codeforces and scored 2622 and 2516. They have outperformed DeepSeek's R1 model.
The release of OpenAI's open weight models comes after the company delayed the launch on a repeated basis.
Last month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman informed in an X post that it required extra time to 'run additional safety tests and review high-risk areas.'

Brazil's Lula plans joint response to Trump tariffs with Modi, other Brics leaders
Brazil's President Luiz Incio Lula da Silva has called for a joint Brics response to tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump, positioning himself as a defender of multilateralism at a time of rising global trade an interview with Reuters on Wednesday, Lula criticised Trump's recent tariff wave, saying they reflect an attempt to dismantle the global multilateral order in favour of unilateral deals dominated by the United President Trump is doing is tacit -- he wants to dismantle multilateralism, where agreements are made collectively within institutions, and replace it with unilateralism, where he negotiates one-on-one with other countries," Lula said. "What bargaining power does a small Latin American country have against the United States? None."LULA TO SPEAK WITH BRICS LEADERSLula said he will reach out to Brics leaders -- including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chinese President Xi Jinping and other leaders -- to understand how each country to formulate a collective response."I'm going to try to discuss with them about how each one is doing in this situation, what the implications are for each country, so we can make a decision," Lula said."It's important to remember that the Brics have ten countries at the G20."Lula, who held the Brics presidency, said Brazil will use its leadership to bring member countries together -- including Russia, South Africa and other emerging economies -- to stand up for multilateral trade and collective has recently labelled Brics as "anti-American" and threatened additional 10% tariffs on its member nations. The move followed last month's Brics summit in Rio de Janeiro and is seen as part of Trump's broader campaign to reassert US trade dominance ahead of the 2026 ACCUSES BOLSONARO OF INCITING US TARIFFS ON BRAZILThe Brazilian president also accused his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro, of working behind the scenes to provoke Trump into targeting Brazil with punitive trade measures."He (Bolsonaro) is being tried for his actions," Lula told Reuters.

"Have To Act Accordingly": Shashi Tharoor Slams US For Additional 25% Tariffs
New Delhi: Slamming the United States for "double standard" for imposing an additional 25% tariff on India for buying Russian oil, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Wednesday said US President Donald Trump's move will make "our goods unaffordable to a lot of people in America." He pointed out that while China imports various materials, including more Russian oil than India, the country has received a "90-day break" from the US tariffs. "Uranium, Palladium, there are various things they (US) are importing from Russia. There is, unfortunately, a certain double standard involved. They have given the Chinese a 90-day break, but the Chinese are importing far more Russian oil than we are. So clearly this has not been a particularly friendly gesture from a country we thought was well disposed towards us, an administration that we thought was well disposed," Mr Tharoor told reporters. Suggesting that tariffs also might signal how the friendly relations between India and the US have been affected, the Congress leader mentioned the possibility of "pressures within India" for imposing reciprocal tariffs on American exports to India. "Very clearly, we have to act accordingly, and we will have to learn our lessons from this experience. I think there is certainly a likelihood that there will be some pressure within India now to impose comparable reciprocal tariffs on American exports to India. So I think we're going to have to really start looking at other trading partners much more in these circumstances," Mr Tharoor mentioned. "I don't think that's particularly good news for us and that takes our total tariffs to 50 per cent then that's going to make our goods unaffordable to a lot of people in America and in particularly when you're looking at these percentages you have to compare them with the tariffs being levied on some of our competitors," Mr Tharoor told ANI. Comparing the tariffs on other countries like Pakistan (19 pc), Bangladesh (20 pc), Philippines (19 pc), Indonesia (19), or even Vietnam (20 pc), the Congress leader said that this will effect Indian goods being bought in US, as people will look for the cheapest option. "This means we need to very seriously diversify to other countries and other markets that may be interested in what we have to offer. We now have an FTA with the UK. We are talking to the EU. There are many countries in which hopefully we would be able to, but in the short term, it is definitely a blow," Mr Tharoor told ANI. US President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order on August 6 imposing an additional 25 per cent tariff on imports from India. Trump cited matters of national security and foreign policy concerns, as well as other relevant trade laws, for the increase, claiming that India's imports of Russian oil, directly or indirectly, pose an "unusual and extraordinary threat" to the United States. Terming the United States' move to impose additional tariffs on India over its oil imports from Russia as "unfair, unjustified and unreasonable," the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) declared that New Delhi will take "all actions necessary to protect its national interests. "In an official statement, the MEA said, "The United States has in recent days targeted India's oil imports from Russia. We have already made clear our position on these issues, including the fact that our imports are based on market factors and done with the overall objective of ensuring the energy security of 1.4 billion people of India." "It is therefore extremely unfortunate that the US should choose to impose additional tariffs on India for actions that several other countries are also taking in their own national interest," the statement added.
