What are you working on that you’ve had such great success with gpt-oss?

I didn’t try it long because I got frustrated waiting for it to spit out wrong answers.

But I’m open to trying again.

I'm doing programming on/off (mostly use Codex with hosted models) with GPT-OSS-120B, and with reasoning_effort set to high, it gets it right maybe 95% of the times, rarely does it get anything wrong.

I use it to build some side-projects, mostly apps for mobile devices. It is really good with Swift for some reason.

I also use it to start off MVP projects that involve both frontend and API development but you have to be super verbose, unlike when using Claude. The context window is also small, so you need to know how to break it up in parts that you can put together on your own
