  1. gpt-oss-120b & gpt-oss-20b Model Card (2025 · 555 citations)
    This model card from OpenAI describes gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b. They are text-only reasoning models with open weights under the Apache 2.0 license. They are built for agentic workflows: web search, Python execution, function calling and Structured Outputs. Users can set how much effort the model spends on…
  2. Deliberative Alignment: Reasoning Enables Safer Language Models (2024 · 109 citations)
    Conventional safety training (SFT, RLHF) has two weaknesses. LLMs answer instantly without deliberating, and they infer safety rules only indirectly from labeled examples. As a result, they can be jailbroken yet still refuse harmless requests. OpenAI researchers propose Deliberative Alignment, which teaches the model…
