Beata Zawrzel/NurPhoto via Getty Images We all know AI relies on open-source software, but most of the big AI companies avoid opening their code or their large language model (LLM) weights. Today, things have changed. OpenAI, the artificial intelligence titan behind ChatGPT, announced a landmark return to its open-source origins. The company unveiled two new open-weight language models, gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b, marking its first public release of freely available AI model weights since GP

OpenAI's New Models Aren't Really Open: What to Know About Open-Weights AI

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-11 16:11:45

Despite the company's name, OpenAI hasn't dropped an open version of its AI models since GPT-2 in 2019. That changed on Tuesday, as CEO Sam Altman shared two new open-weights, reasoning AI models, named gpt-oss-120b (120 billion parameters) and gpt-oss-20b (20 billion parameters). If open-weights is a new piece of AI jargon to you, don't worry. In the simplest possible terms, open-weights is a category of AI models that power products like chatbots, image and video generators.

Olive Oil for Everything? Not So Fast — Here's What Cooking Oil to Use Instead

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-11 16:30:04

Cooking oil is one of the most versatile ingredients in any kitchen, but not all oils are created equal. While it's tempting to reach for olive oil every time, the truth is that different oils perform best under different conditions, and using the wrong one can make or break your dish. Olive oil, for example, adds richness and depth to dressings and sautés as well as goodies like proteins and vegetables. But its smoke point is lower than other oils, making it a poor choice for high-heat cooking
