OpenAI Brings Open-Source GPT AI Models That Are Powerful But Can Run On Your Phones
Last Updated:
OpenAI has announced new open source models that can assist with agentic AI tools and can be customised as per needs.
The AI news continues to pile on this week, and OpenAI is making a big wave with its latest development. While the world waits for the GPT 5 launch, the company has released its first-ever GPT-OSS models called GPT-OSS 120b and 20b versions.
The company is offering these models for everyone to download, customise and adopt in their own way. Brands like Amazon and Microsoft have already dedicated their systems to run the new models and we expect more people to gradually put it to test.
OpenAI Goes Open With New GPT Models: What It Offers
OpenAI claims these models have been optimised to run on hardware like phones and laptops. It is also using models like O3 to help the new ones mature and learn faster. The GPT-oss120b model is further advanced but its abilities mean you get benchmark scores close to the O4 mini model. The GPT-oss 20b is much lighter and it can run on devices with around 16GB GPU memory.
The more flashy stuff of ChatGPT like generating images and videos is not the focus of these new versions. Instead, OpenAI is building to create more agentic AI services that can be integrated to web search and its customisation gives them more room to learn and reason with the systems.
OpenAI is close to releasing the GPT 5 version in the market but it seems the company also has one more big weapon in its plans. New reports say ChatGPT could get a new premium version that will be priced lower than the Plus model.
The new ChatGPT Go subscription tier could allow OpenAI to add more paid users to its network, and give more people the chance to try out the popular features without spending big on the AI chatbot. ChatGPT Go being priced below the 'Plus' version means you are looking at a sub-$15 (Rs 1,200 approx) per month plan which should get less number of features than the Plus and the Pro variants.
