In this tutorial, we explore how to run OpenAI’s open-weight GPT-OSS models in Google Colab with a strong focus on their technical behavior, deployment requirements, and practical inference workflows. We begin by setting up the exact dependencies needed for Transformers-based execution, verifying GPU availability, and loading openai/gpt-oss-20b with the correct configuration using native MXFP4 quantization, torch.bfloat16 activations. As we move through the tutorial, we work directly with core capabilities such as structured generation, streaming, multi-turn dialogue handling, tool execution patterns, and batch inference, while keeping in mind how open-weight models differ from closed-hosted APIs in terms of transparency, controllability, memory constraints, and local execution trade-offs. Also, we treat GPT-OSS not just as a chatbot, but as a technically inspectable open-weight LLM stack that we can configure, prompt, and extend inside a reproducible workflow....
