OpenAI releases gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b, two state-of-the-art open-weight language models that deliver strong real-world performance at low cost. They outperform similarly sized open models on reasoning tasks and are optimized for efficient deployment.
Alibaba's Qwen team aims to find out with its latest release, QwQ. Despite having a fraction of DeepSeek R1's claimed 671 billion parameters, Alibaba touts its comparatively compact 32-billion 'reasoning' model as outperforming R1 in select math, coding, and function-calling benchmarks.
