How to use openai/gpt-oss-20b with Docker Model Runner:
docker model run hf.co/openai/gpt-oss-20b
Still the undisputed best model for 16gb consumer cards, when can we expect a refresh / new model?
All these other open models brag about their benchmarks but they usually don't even fit into consumer hardware properly, just tells you how much OpenAI is ahead of everyone.
Don't want to sound ungrateful because i am grateful for openai releasing gpt oss 20b and 120b but out of excitement and seeing the quality standards OpenAI adheres their models to, i must ask, are there going to be newer open models from OpenAI in the foreseeable future?

Can this model be deployed and run smoothly with 16GB?
