How do I call gpt-oss-120b?
With the OpenAI SDK, as for any OpenAI-compatible API: set the base URL to https://llmwithcrypto.com/api/v1, read your key from LLMWITHCRYPTO_API_KEY, and pass gpt-oss-120b as the model. Pass your API key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header, as the OpenAI SDK does.
import os
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://llmwithcrypto.com/api/v1",
api_key=os.environ["LLMWITHCRYPTO_API_KEY"],
)
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-oss-120b",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Plan the steps to migrate a cron job to a queue worker, then list the risks."}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
print(resp.usage) # prompt_tokens and completion_tokens: what the call costs
What is gpt-oss-120b good for?
gpt-oss-120b is one of the two open-weight models OpenAI published under Apache 2.0; the other is gpt-oss-20b. Nine hosts list it at list prices, the widest coverage in our price index, with a context of about 128K tokens.
We position it for reasoning and tool use in agents and apps. It is not ChatGPT and not a GPT model sold by OpenAI: it is an open model anyone may host. We do not sell access to GPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok: their makers forbid reselling API access without their approval, and we do not have it.
What licence does gpt-oss-120b come with?
Apache 2.0, plus a short usage policy in which you “agree to comply with all applicable law”, as published by OpenAI on Hugging Face (read 22 October 2026). Hosting it as a paid API is allowed. Each model keeps its own licence and use policy (for example Meta’s Llama Acceptable Use Policy and the “Built with Llama” notice); using a model through us means accepting them.
gpt-oss-120b questions
Is gpt-oss the same as GPT or ChatGPT?
No. gpt-oss models are open weights OpenAI released for anyone to run; GPT models behind ChatGPT and the OpenAI API are closed. We do not sell access to GPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok: their makers forbid reselling API access without their approval, and we do not have it.
Some hosts are much cheaper. Why is your price higher?
Prices for gpt-oss-120b ranged from $0.037 to $0.35 per million input tokens on 23 October 2026. We follow the median of all nine hosts, minus 5%, not the lowest listing, which is often a slower or smaller tier.
What happens to my prompts?
We do not store your prompts or the model’s answers: once a response is sent, its text is gone. Each call leaves one log line with the time, the account, the model and the token counts, deleted after 30 days.
