Groq, a leader in AI inference technologies, and HUMAIN, a public investment-backed AI powerhouse in Saudi Arabia, have jointly launched two new OpenAI open-source models—gpt-oss-120B and gpt-oss-20B—on the GroqCloud platform. With global availability, real-time performance, and localized support, this partnership marks a pivotal step in democratizing AI development and deployment worldwide.
OpenAI’s Open Model Revolution
OpenAI’s initiative to release open-source versions of its large language models has created opportunities for new platforms like Groq to offer cost-effective and high-speed inference solutions. Groq has historically backed open-source initiatives like Whisper and now reinforces that support by enabling these models with 128K context length, code execution, and real-time web search.
Engineered for Scale and Speed
GroqCloud now supports:
- gpt-oss-120B at over 500 tokens/sec
- gpt-oss-20B at over 1,000 tokens/sec
These models run on Groq’s custom Language Processing Unit (LPU) infrastructure and come with advanced tools such as web search and code execution built in. All operations run with low-latency and high-throughput performance, powered by global data centers across North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
Pricing Highlights:
- gpt-oss-120B: $0.15/million input tokens | $0.75/million output tokens
- gpt-oss-20B: $0.10/million input tokens | $0.50/million output tokens
(Tool calls free for a limited time)
Redefining Price-Performance in AI
With unmatched scalability and speed, Groq offers the lowest token cost on the market for high-performance AI inference. This makes it an attractive proposition for startups, enterprises, and public sector developers aiming to maximize impact at reduced infrastructure costs.
Saudi AI Innovation at the Forefront
“OpenAI is setting a new standard for high-performance open-source models,” said Jonathan Ross , CEO of Groq. “Groq was built to quickly and affordably launch such models, so developers around the world can use it from the ground up. The collaboration with HUMAIN strengthens local access and support in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, enabling developers in the region to build smarter and faster.”
“Groq provides the unmatched inference speed, scalability, and cost-effectiveness we need to bring cutting-edge AI to the Kingdom,” said Tareq Amin , CEO of HUMAIN. “Together, we are enabling a new wave of Saudi innovation – powered by the best open source models and the infrastructure to scale them globally. We are proud to support OpenAI’s leadership in open source AI.”
