With all these things, it depends on your own eval suite. gpt-oss-120b works as well as o4-mini over my evals, which means I can run it via OpenRouter on Cerebras where it's SO DAMN FAST and like 1/5th the price of o4-mini.

How would you compare gpt-oss-120b to (for coding):

Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct

GLM4.5 Air

Kimi K2

DeepSeek V3 0324 / R1 0528

GPT-5 Mini

Thanks for any feedback!

I’m afraid I don’t use any of those for coding

You're missing out. GLM 4.5 Air and Qwen3 A3B both blow OSS 120B out of the water in my experience.

Ah good to hear! How about Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct? I believe that is the free Qwen3-coder model on openrouter
