gpt-oss-120b is useless

Details

Description

🚀 gpt-oss-120b: hype or helpful?

• 117 B-param MoE (5.1 B active), fits on a single 80 GB GPU

• Near-o4-mini parity on reasoning, coding, math & health tasks

• 128 k context, 3 “effort” levels, full CoT, tool use & code exec

• Trained on English STEM/code, multilingual capacity probably quite bad

• Skip it if energy costs, fine-tuning hurdles, or non-English matter to you; the 20 B may be a smarter first stop for efficiency, but still only trained for English.
