Run it yourself

It needs about 65.5 GB of RAM on a CPU, and the cheapest plan we track with that much and a disk included is Linode Linode 90GB at $240/mo, streaming an estimated 2.5–5.1 tok/s.
Every provider selling gpt-oss-120b
Four groups, decided by the price and by what the provider publishes about it. Prices are per million tokens, and the share is that row against OpenRouter's price. OpenAI trained gpt-oss-120b and sells it on no catalog we read, so the price every row is measured against is OpenRouter's.
