Ok, I've put https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-oss/ in the top text there as well. Thanks!
I wrote a detailed breakdown of the models and why this release is a big deal — especially for devs who want to run or fine-tune LLMs locally: https://medium.com/@miguel.paracuellos.inf/openai-just-went-...
Curious how others are thinking of using these — would love to hear your setups.

FOSS minus freedom
They're Apache licensed.

FOSS does not imply copyleft. Permissive licenses and copyleft licenses are both FOSS.
But it’s open weights.
obviously super software.
