Yes I know. We helped show the PyTorch team how to train Llama efficiently – they have a whole GPU Mode talk about it. These issues do not at all line with your claims however.

OpenAI’s Open-Source Models Beat Commercial Pricing Benchmarks
By
–
As benchmarks for OpenAI's new open-source models roll in, one thing to keep in mind is how cheap they actually are: – GPT OSS 20b is cheaper than Gemini 2.5 Flash Light or GPT-4.1-Nano.
– GPT OSS 120b is cheaper than recent open-source models from China (e.g., Kimi K2 or GLM -

H100 GPU costs for 120B and 20B LLM model training
By
–
According to the model card gpt-oss-120b took 2.1 million H100-hours and the 20b model 1/10th of that I found quotes for H100 pricing ranging from $2/hour to $11/hour, which would indicate that the 120b model cost between $4.2m and $23.1m and the 20b between $420,000 and $2.3m

OpenAI Releases Two Open Weight Models Including gpt-oss-120b
By
–
I'm thrilled @OpenAI has released two open weight models. Thank you to all my friends at OpenAI for this gift! I'm also encouraged that from my quick tests gpt-oss-120b looks strong (though we should still wait for rigorous 3rd party evals).

US Open Weight Models Lead: Sustainability or One-Off Advantage?
By
–
The US now likely has the leading open weights models (or close to it)… … but the real question is whether this is a one-off situation from OpenAI, in which case the lead will evaporate quickly as others catch up. But also unclear what their incentives are to keep updating.

OpenAI Open Weights Models Rival Chinese AI Labs
By

Here's the concluding section of my write-up of the new OpenAI open weights models – they're really impressive, and I think they hold their own (or even beat) the models we've seen come out of the various Chinese AI labs over the past few months
