Decision facts
- GPT-4o (2024-08-06) is #128; gpt-oss-20b is #131 on the same current language board.
- Index scores are 30.8 for GPT-4o (2024-08-06) and 28.5 for gpt-oss-20b. Their published uncertainty intervals overlap, so the rank difference alone does not establish a reliable capability advantage for your workload.
- Both positions use Measured evidence.
- Listed output price per 1M tokens is $10.00 for GPT-4o (2024-08-06) and $0.13 for gpt-oss-20b. For 1,000 requests with 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each (2M input + 0.5M output), the listed-rate estimate is $10.00 for GPT-4o (2024-08-06) versus $0.13 for gpt-oss-20b. gpt-oss-20b costs 98.8% less in this scenario. This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the selected endpoint before budgeting.
- Published context is 128,000 tokens for GPT-4o (2024-08-06) and 131,072 for gpt-oss-20b.
- Weight access differs: GPT-4o (2024-08-06) is none; gpt-oss-20b is open.
- ModelCap currently lists 2 providers for GPT-4o (2024-08-06) and 12 for gpt-oss-20b.
These are separate published fields, not a synthetic winner. ModelCap does not collapse price, access, context, and capability evidence into a hidden recommendation score.
