OpenAI's Free Models Update

Hey AI Enthusiast,

OpenAI just launched two open reasoning models called gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b - their first open models since GPT-2 over 5 years ago.

These models can run locally on your hardware instead of through APIs, opening up reasoning capabilities without cloud costs or API restrictions.

I'll share today's power prompt and community weekly wins first (then show what this means for your local AI development...)
