GPT-OSS-120B is a powerful open-source alternative to GPT models and offers many modern capabilities such as tool calling, advanced context processing and flexible customization options. Thanks to our OpenAI-compatible API, our Managed AI model can be integrated directly into existing applications without any major conversions or special customizations.

As we operate GPT-OSS-120B on our own infrastructure in Germany, you have a GDPR-compliant, reliable and scalable environment at your disposal. This means you can use the model wherever GPT-3.5, GPT-4 or similar systems were previously used, with maximum flexibility and full functionality.

In this article, I’ll show you a few ways in which the model can be easily integrated.

Integration in development environments (IDE)

Many IDEs such as JetBrains or Visual Studio Code already support OpenAI-compatible AI assistants.
Using plugins such as Roo Code or Cline, you can use our Managed AI model directly via its API with minimal configuration.

Integrating it is straightforward:

  • Install plugin
  • Configure your own API URL
  • Insert API key
  • Get started

Since these plugins support the OpenAI format, our Managed AI Model works without additional customization, perfect for autocomplete, debugging, code refactoring and documentation.

Workflow automation with n8n

The no-code tool n8n is ideal for integrating GPT-OSS into business applications. n8n natively supports OpenAI-compatible interfaces, so you can get started right away.

Typical areas of application:

  • Automated e-mail summaries
  • Classification of text and support requests
  • Chatbot flows and customer dialogs
  • Content generation for marketing teams
  • And much more

With the OpenAI Node or a simple HTTP Request Node, our Managed AI model can be connected within a few minutes.

Integration in LangChain Agents & RAG workflows

For developers who want to build more complex systems, LangChain is the first choice.
Thanks to API compatibility, you can use GPT-OSS via existing LangChain classes, for example:

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

llm = ChatOpenAI(
    model="openai/gpt-oss-120b",
    openai_api_base="https://api.ai.nws.netways.de/v1",
    openai_api_key="API_KEY",
    temperature="0.8",
    streaming=False
)

This allows intelligent agents, consistent RAG pipelines, multi-level automation and complex decision-making processes to be realized without proprietary models.

Usage with curl

Even a simple CURL call is enough to send a request to the Managed AI Model and receive a response in the familiar chat completion format.
This allows you to test quickly, build initial integrations or integrate the model directly into existing scripts and workflows.

curl https://api.ai.nws.netways.de/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "model": "openai/gp-oss-120b",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Erkläre mir kurz, was GPT-OSS-120B ist."
      }
    ]
  }'

Use in OpenWebUI & other graphical frontends


For those who prefer to use AI via a graphical interface, OpenWebUI offers a modern and easy-to-understand solution. GPT-OSS can also be integrated there via API and is immediately ready for use. OpenWebUI also offers many practical functions:

  • Web search: Answers can be expanded with up-to-date online information if required
  • RAG support: integrate your own documents and receive context-based answers
  • Create embeddings: for semantic search, knowledge systems or internal analysis functions
  • Reranking: Sort search results or documents according to relevance
  • Content extraction: Automatically extract content from PDFs, web pages or texts

Perfect for teams with a less technical background who want to use AI on a day-to-day basis. Non-technical users also benefit directly from the possibilities of our model and you can quickly and intuitively equip your team with AI without a local installation or complex infrastructure of your own.

Other compatible front ends:

  • LibreChat
  • Chatbot UI
  • AnythingLLM
  • MacAI
  • LM Studio
  • And many more
