I've been using the gpt-oss 20b parameter model on my laptop and it works great. Doesn't reject giving legal or medical advice either. Obviously not good enough for coding, but seems like 'useful AI assistant for daily life' is in overshoot.

Somewhere a doctor is happy he found a model that's good enough for coding but he thinks, I'm certainly not dumb enough to use this for medical advice.

The thing about medical advice is that Google was useful for narrowing problems down, and it's the same with any current LLM only more useful. I have enough biology to know what interventions require professional opinions.

That’s great, but not a reason for taxpayers to get involved and be on the hook for massive risky investments.

OpenAI doesn’t need government financial backing for investment. The government has more pressing priorities to address with the money they take from us first.

[rogerkirkness]

Totally agree to be clear.

I’m guessing the grandparent poster would agree with you.

If 20B reasoning models are the goal, we can do that a whole lot cheaper than for $1T.
