## OpenAI’s open-weight future is back in question A Reddit post asks whether OpenAI will ever ship another open-weight model after gpt-oss, noting that nearly a year has passed without a general-purpose successor. The discussion frames Kimi, Qwen, and GLM as possible pressure points that could force OpenAI to respond. The accompanying image shows the **gpt-oss** release page, describing **gpt-oss-120b** and **gpt-oss-20b** as open-weight reasoning models released under the Apache 2.0 license and optimized for efficient deployment.
