Frequently asked questions

How do I deploy GPT-OSS 20B on Runpod?

Deploy the vLLM worker from the Runpod Hub as a Serverless endpoint and set MODEL_NAME to openai/gpt-oss-20b. The endpoint is OpenAI-compatible and scales to zero when idle. You can also run vLLM on a Pod.

What GPU do I need to run GPT-OSS 20B?

Start with RTX 4090 (24 GB VRAM). The weights take about 14 GB; longer contexts and more concurrent requests need extra memory for the KV cache.

How much does GPT-OSS 20B cost on Runpod?

Serverless endpoints and Pods bill per second for the GPU you choose. A Serverless endpoint costs nothing while scaled to zero.
