Instructions to use openai/gpt-oss-120b with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use openai/gpt-oss-120b with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="openai/gpt-oss-120b")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("openai/gpt-oss-120b")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("openai/gpt-oss-120b", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Request: FP8 / BF16 version of model?

Hi,

It seems that first reports from users over reddit seems to indicate that the model is maybe hallucinating quite a bit at times, which might be in parts because of the MXFP4 quantization of the MLP layers?

If the models have been trained in FP8 or BF16 precision, would it be possible for you to upload those versions as well?
Those models might not run on single GPUs anymore (except on AMD MI355x), but I am sure people will still be able to use them on multi-GPU machines.

Best regards,
Epliz

Apparently the model was trained directly in 4bit, so I doubt we'll see these

For CloseAI, this is impossible to achieve! They only gave you this castrated/crippled version because they were forced to!
