Fine-tune OpenAI's gpt-oss-20b model on Apple Silicon to create a 10GB quantized model for local serving

advanced Published 17 Apr 2026
Action Steps
  1. Fine-tune OpenAI's gpt-oss-20b model using Apple Silicon hardware
  2. Quantize the fine-tuned model to reduce its size to 10 GB
  3. Serve the quantized model locally using vLLM-mlx
  4. Test the locally served model with Claude Code integration
  5. Optimize the model for better performance and accuracy
