Wes Roth | OpenAI Just Changed the Game Again

Two open source, open weights models just dropped, and they’re good. We’re talking Codeforces scores on par with o3 and o4-mini, open licensing (Apache 2.0), and efficient enough to run on consumer hardware.

In this video, I break down:

- Why GPT-OSS caught everyone off guard

- The benchmarks that rival closed models

- How these models were trained (spoiler: cutting-edge RL with OpenAI secret sauce)

- What this means for tool use, agent workflows, and on-device inference

- And why this could be the biggest open source moment in AI since LLaMA


Also: safety concerns, risks of open weights, and what OpenAI might be signaling with this release — just 48 hours before GPT-5 is expected to launch.


Yes, this is real. Yes, it's a comeback for open source.


And yes… it’s a plot twist.
