GPT-OSS

3 Steps to LoRA Fine-tuning for GPT-OSS

1. Install LLaMA-Factory and transformers

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hiyouga/LLaMA-Factory.git
cd LLaMA-Factory
pip install -e .
pip install -r requirements/metrics.txt --no-build-isolation
pip install "transformers==4.55.0"

2. Train GPT-OSS on a single GPU (requires VRAM > 44 GB, multi-GPU supported)

llamafactory-cli train examples/train_lora/gpt_lora_sft.yaml

3. Merge LoRA Weights

llamafactory-cli export --model_name_or_path openai/gpt-oss-20b \
    --adapter_name_or_path saves/gpt-20b/lora/sft \
    --export_dir gpt_merged

Chat with the Fine-tuned Model

llamafactory-cli chat --model_name_or_path gpt_merged --template gpt --skip_special_tokens False
