@corbtt @dvdcrbt can give concrete examples, but from my experience, they enable completely different things. RAG/search really just gives the model *info* to work with. Fine-tuning changes the *behavior* of the model.

OpenAI Open Weights Models Outperform Earlier Generation AI
By
–
The OpenAI open weights models are very impressive. These basically beat every model from eight months ago & the small one runs on a laptop. For example, when HLE came out in January, the top score was 3-4%. Been playing with the models and so far they feel like their scores.

Stealth AI Models Outperform Open Source Models on WebArena

Ha habido mucha especulación en las últimas semanas sobre si los modelos furtivos aparecidos en el WebArena serían los modelos open source pero al parecer no. Aquellos rendían mejor. https://t.co/tZ5SaLGSXy

OpenAI Launches GPT-OSS Pro Mode for Enhanced Open Source

Introducing `gpt-oss Pro Mode`!
— Matt Shumer (@mattshumer_) 5 août 2025
Basically o3 Pro, but for the new OpenAI open source models 🙂
Pro Mode chains together up to 10 instances of the new OpenAI GPT-OSS model, enabling it to produce a better answer than one instance alone could create!

Remarkable Performance of Compact Open-Source AI Models
By
–
What’s absolutely amazing to me is the size of these models:
• gpt-oss-120b runs on a high-end MacBook or on a single H100.
• gpt-oss-20b runs on consumer hardware. And yet, their evals are remarkable! Matching or exceeding o4-mini and o3-mini respectively in core benchmarks.
