A user tested the GPT-OSS-20B local LLM for coding tasks and found it performed poorly on practical, multi-step projects despite strong benchmark results. The model failed to complete five coding tasks, indicating a significant gap between its performance on benchmarks and its ability to handle real-world development work. The user also encountered issues with the testing environment, including Antigravity consuming excessive memory, leading to a system restart. Ultimately, the user decided against further testing of GPT-OSS for their daily programming needs, opting to continue using Codex and Antigravity. AI
