Leak suggests OpenAIs open-source AI model release is imminent

A recent leak indicates that OpenAI is poised to release a new suite of open-source AI models, including versions with up to 120 billion parameters, built on a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture. Evidence from deleted repositories and configuration files suggests these models, identified by tags like "gpt-oss," are part of a strategic move to reintroduce open-source initiatives, offering a scalable and efficient alternative to monolithic models by leveraging 128 specialized experts that dynamically activate based on the query. This development signifies a notable shift in OpenAI's approach, traditionally guarded with proprietary models,
