Introduction
The landscape of artificial intelligence is undergoing a seismic shift. OpenAI’s new open-weight GPT OSS models—gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b—are now available for developers to run, adapt, and deploy on their own infrastructure, marking a pivotal moment for open-source AI. To ensure these models are accurate and up-to-date no matter where they are deployed, OpenAI has integrated You.com as a core search provider, bringing real-time, high-quality web search directly to advanced language models.
Why Search Matters for Open-Weight AI
While these new GPT OSS models are hyperintelligent, their knowledge is ultimately limited by the data they were trained on. To remain accurate and relevant, they need access to the latest information from the web. This is where You.com’s Search API comes in: delivering accurate, fresh, and reliable results that empower AI to answer questions with current knowledge, not just what was true at the time of training.
You.com: Composable APIs for the AI Enterprise
You.com’s Search API is purpose-built for the agentic era, offering composable, enterprise-grade APIs that plug seamlessly into AI workflows. Unlike traditional search engines, You.com is designed for developers and enterprises who need programmatic access to the world’s information—enabling everything from real-time research assistants to dynamic content generation and automated agents.
Recent benchmarks show that You.com’s Search API leads alternatives across accuracy, freshness, latency, and cost. The Search API outperforms legacy providers and ensures that AI applications built on GPT OSS models can deliver trustworthy, up-to-date answers.
A Major Shift for Developers and Enterprises
With You.com as a core search provider, developers using OpenAI’s GPT OSS models can now build applications that are not only open and customizable, but also deeply knowledgeable and current. Whether you’re deploying on your own servers for privacy, compliance, or customization, you no longer have to sacrifice access to the latest information.
This partnership marks a new era: open-weight AI models powered by real-time web search, helping create the generation of intelligent applications.
