OpenAI's gpt-oss-120B and gpt-oss-20B: Purpose-Built, Open-Weight Reasoning Models

OpenAI has released gpt-oss-120B and gpt-oss-20B as open models designed for reasoning tasks. These aren't just scaled-up versions of existing models — they're purpose-built open-weight reasoning models released under Apache 2.0 licensing while maintaining the safety standards that enterprise deployment requires.

The development process reflected OpenAI's commitment to global accessibility. Through listening sessions across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, they gathered feedback to ensure these models lower barriers for emerging markets, resource-constrained sectors, and smaller organizations. Each model underwent rigorous safety training and evaluation, with OpenAI testing maliciously fine-tuned versions under their Preparedness Framework to verify safety even after weight release.

Q: Should I use the RedPajama-V2 Dataset out of the box?

RedPajama-V2 is conceptualized as a pool of data that serves as a foundation for creating high quality datasets. The dataset is thus not intended to be used out of the box and, depending on the application, data should be filtered out using the quality signals that accompany the data. With this dataset, we take the view that the optimal filtering of data is dependent on the intended use. Our goal is to provide all the signals and tooling that enables this.
