| Field | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary | ||
| Verdict | Conditional Based on published licence terms, GPT-OSS 20B is released under Apache 2.0 with no field-of-use carve-outs in the licence itself; OpenAI publishes a separate non-binding 'gpt-oss usage policy' as guidance. Training-data disclosure is domain-level only, and US origin carries Schrems-II / CLOUD-Act exposure that enterprise deployers should document for EU workloads. | EU-ready Fully open model: weights, training data (Dolma 2), training code, checkpoints, and logs all published. Apache 2.0 across the board. Strongest choice when AI Act transparency obligations matter. |
