Harmony is a response format developed by OpenAI for use with the gpt-oss model series. It defines a structured way for language models to produce outputs, including regular text, reasoning traces, tool calls, and structured data. By mimicking the OpenAI Responses API, Harmony provides developers with a familiar interface while enabling more advanced capabilities such as multiple output channels, instruction hierarchies, and tool namespaces.

...The series includes two main models: gpt-oss-120b, a 117-billion parameter model optimized for general-purpose, high-reasoning tasks that can run on a single H100 GPU, and gpt-oss-20b, a lighter 21-billion parameter model ideal for low-latency or specialized applications on smaller hardware. Both models use a native MXFP4 quantization for efficient memory use and support OpenAI’s Harmony response format, enabling transparent full chain-of-thought reasoning and advanced tool integrations such as function calling, browsing, and Python code execution. The repository provides multiple reference implementations—including PyTorch, Triton, and Metal—for educational and experimental use, as well as example clients and tools like a terminal chat app and a Responses API server.

...With 21B total parameters and 3.6B active parameters (MoE), it fits within 16GB of memory thanks to native MXFP4 quantization. Designed for high-performance reasoning, it supports Harmony response format, function calling, web browsing, and code execution. Like its larger sibling (gpt-oss-120b), it offers adjustable reasoning depth and full chain-of-thought visibility for better interpretability. It’s released under a permissive Apache 2.0 license, allowing unrestricted commercial and research use. GPT-OSS-20B is compatible with Transformers, vLLM, Ollama, PyTorch, and other tools. ...
