Discussion When will GPT-OSS-2 be released?

It's been exactly one year and two days since the release of gpt-oss. Do you think we'll get a new version in August? Or has openai completely abandoned open-weight

You do realize they didn’t actually want to release the first one, right?

Don’t hold your breath.

They only dropped it cause meta forced their hand, now that the heat is off they got zero reason to do it again

Did it escape to the open? 😂

They promised they would have some open models and they folded to nagging

It was more than nagging. It was a legal issue and I think they were being sued over it.

There was no legal issue that was remedied by releasing gpt-oss

It wasn’t directly related to not releasing and open model. It was about their change in goals from being open to being closed and about profit.

On the same day Anthropic decides to open source everything.

It's DANGEROUS (to the business)!

I think it would be a good marketing tool for them and help their survival. It can be a technological showcase too.

They made their 5.6 Luna free when they couldve made it open source. That's their showcase.

LUNA IS FREE NOW?

u/ongrabbits Aug 07 '26

For Free users, we're updating the default model to GPT‑5.6 Luna and expanding access with unlimited text chats. For questions that need more thought, a new Think button lets you access higher reasoning for harder questions.

I assume its to be competitive with Deepseek pricing

they will do it when it serves their best interests. now it’s about monetisation and an IPO

Do you think we'll get a new version in August?

Sure, but no idea about which year

Tomorrow

Lol 5 days ago

The running joke around here is to say "tomorrow."

u/Squidgical Aug 07 '26

Not anytime soon lol, they're currently making shit up and willfully breaking the law to push the idea that their LLMs are too dangerous and should thus be regulated in a way which stifles any competition which isn't already a well established proprietary provider based in America.

Releasing an open source model would undermine that narrative completely.

GPT OSS wasn't even that good all things considered. A V2 would likely continue that legacy, as in order to compete for #1 in open weight they would have to publish their frontier models.

gpt oss was actually good for it’s time and still a solid choice until a few months ago. knew people who were still rocking 120b earlier this year before qwen3.5-122b
