How to Use gpt-oss-safeguard

Like the [gpt-oss family of models](https://openai.com/open-models/), this is an open source model with open weights that you run locally or integrate into your own infrastructure. It is designed to work with the [harmony response format](https://github.com/openai/harmony). Harmony is the structured prompt interface that gives gpt-oss-safeguard access to its full reasoning stack and ensures consistent, well-formed outputs.

The gpt-oss family of models, including gpt-oss-safeguard, can be run on servers using:

- [vLLM](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/recipes/en/latest/OpenAI/GPT-OSS.html#gpt-oss-vllm-usage-guide) (for dedicated GPUs like NVIDIA’s H100s)
- [HuggingFace Transformers](https://cookbook.openai.com/articles/gpt-oss/run-locally-lmstudio) (for consumer GPUs)
- [Google Colab](https://cookbook.openai.com/articles/gpt-oss/run-colab)
