FAQ

Can I run gpt-oss-safeguard-20b on a dedicated deployment in Europe?

Yes. sference deploys gpt-oss-safeguard-20b on GPU capacity reserved for you, behind a private endpoint, with every request processed on European GPUs and logged in your audit trail. Tell us your expected volume and latency targets with the form on this page and we come back with a sizing and a quote.

How many GPUs does gpt-oss-safeguard-20b need?

The published checkpoint is about 14 GB (4-bit (packed) + BF16), so loading it takes at least 1 GPU with 80 GB of memory each, or 1 GPU with 141 GB each. Long contexts and high concurrency need more for the KV cache; quantization needs less. You don't pick hardware on sference: you choose a performance tier and we size the deployment.

Is gpt-oss-safeguard-20b licensed for commercial use?

gpt-oss-safeguard-20b is published under the Apache 2.0 license. Permissive: commercial use, modification, and private deployment allowed; keep the license and notices.
