gpt-oss-120b

POST/v1/responses

gpt-oss-120b is an open-weight, 117B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model from OpenAI designed for high-reasoning, agentic, and general-purpose production use cases. It activates 5.1B parameters per forward pass and is optimized to run on a single H100 GPU with native MXFP4 quantization. The model supports configurable reasoning depth, full chain-of-thought access, and native tool use, including function calling, browsing, and structured output generation.

Request body

Parameters supported by the OpenAI Responses API. Values, defaults, and limits are read from the model registry.

string | array<object>inputrequired

Input text or structured content for the response.

Optional<integer>max_tokens

Maximum number of tokens the model may generate in the response.

Maximum: 131072

Optional<number>temperature

Sampling temperature. Lower values are more deterministic; higher values are more creative.

Range: 0 to 2

Default: 1

Optional<number>top_p

Nucleus sampling threshold. Use this or temperature, but usually not both.

Range: 0 to 1

Optional<boolean>stream

When true, returns incremental Server-Sent Events instead of one completed response.

Default: false

Optional<array>tools

Tool definitions that the model may call during the response.

Optional<string>tool_choice

Controls whether the model may call a tool and, when supported, which tool it must call.

Optional<object>response_format

Controls the response format, including JSON mode or structured JSON output when supported.

Optional<array<string>>stop

Sequences that stop generation when the model produces one of them.

Optional<number>presence_penalty

Penalizes tokens that already appeared, encouraging the model to introduce new topics.

Range: -2 to 2

Optional<number>frequency_penalty

Penalizes repeated tokens, reducing repetition in the generated response.

Range: -2 to 2

Optional<integer>seed

Seed used to make sampling more reproducible when the provider supports it.

Optional<integer>top_k

Request parameter supported by this model.

Minimum: 0
