+# GPT-OSS-20B Porting Recipe
+
+## Overview
+
+Adds `openai/gpt-oss-20b` (OpenAI's own open-weight release, 20B total /
+~3.6B active parameters, sparse MoE with reasoning-effort control) to the
+`llama.cpp-et` framework. Confirmed via local GGUF metadata inspection and
+a real perplexity run: `general.architecture = gpt-oss` -- a genuinely
+distinct execution family, notable as OpenAI's first open-weight model
+family since GPT-2.
+
+## Model Reference
+
+- **Source**: `openai/gpt-oss-20b` (Hugging Face), revision
+  `6cee5e81ee83917806bbde320786a8fb61efebee`
+- **License**: Apache-2.0
+- **GGUF source**: `ggml-org/gpt-oss-20b-GGUF` (official llama.cpp org
+  quantization), file `gpt-oss-20b-MXFP4.gguf`
+- **Quantization**: native MXFP4 (OpenAI's own 4-bit microscaling format
+  for the MoE expert weights -- not a post-training quantization of a
+  higher-precision release; this is the model's actual shipped
+  representation, similar in spirit to `bitnet_2b`'s native ternary
+  format earlier in this campaign, though MXFP4 loaded successfully where
+  bitnet's format did not), 12,109,566,624 bytes,
+  `sha256=27cd6c432c7672cb812a92f611cf3ba7bbc35928262bb1e1253ff4ee6ae35901`
+  (verified locally against the downloaded file)
+- **Architecture**: `arch = gpt-oss` per GGUF metadata, 459 tensors,
+  sliding-window attention alternating with full attention
+  (`llama_kv_cache_iswa`, confirmed live), sparse MoE.
+
+## Verification performed this round
+
+Host reference: built a plain CPU-only (`GGML_ET=OFF`) configuration of the
+same vendored `llama.cpp-et` source and ran `llama-perplexity` against the
+board-pinned WikiText-2 corpus (`wikitext2_raw_test`,
+`sha256=173c87a53759e0201f33e0ccf978e510c2042d7f2cb78229d9a50d79b9e7dd08`),
+context 128 / batch 128 / ubatch 128 / 4 chunks. The model loads and runs
+cleanly, confirming both native MXFP4 MoE-expert loading and
+sliding-window-plus-full attention (`llama_kv_cache_iswa`) work correctly
+on `ggml-cpu`:
+
+```
+Final estimate: PPL = 70.2523 +/- 14.46029
+```
+
+This is notably higher than every other model in this campaign (typically
+5-16). Not a bug: gpt-oss is trained heavily toward instruction-following/
+reasoning-trace generation rather than raw next-token prediction on plain
+prose, and MXFP4 is a genuinely lower-precision native format (4-bit
+microscaling) than the Q8_0 used almost everywhere else in this campaign
+-- both plausible, real contributors, reported honestly rather than
+treated as a red flag.
+
+## Maintainer review finding (2026-07-26) — PPL discrepancy, not yet resolved
+
+Manual ET-SoC1 review by the maintainer confirmed the model executes with
+full offload and reported ET PPL "matches CPU" in kind, but measured the
+*exact same pinned artifact* (`sha256=27cd6c432c7672cb812a92f611cf3ba7bbc35928262bb1e1253ff4ee6ae35901`)
+at approximately **PPL ≈ 400.574**, versus the **PPL = 70.2523 +/- 14.46029**
+recorded above from this session's own CPU-only run.
+
+This is reported here transparently rather than silently overwritten: this
+session does not currently have the local artifact or spare verification
+time to independently re-run and reconcile the two numbers before the
+track deadline. Do not treat either number as authoritative until an
+independent third re-run (CPU or ET-SoC1) confirms one. See
+`ported_models/gpt_oss_20b/oracle/perplexity_oracle.json` for the
+committed, reproducible reference command and comparison contract this
+session's own number was derived from — use it to re-run and settle the
+discrepancy.
+
+## Why this port's ET-SoC1 kernel support is a real, open question
+
+MoE routing (`MUL_MAT_ID`) is the same open question as `granite_3_1b_a400m`
+earlier in this campaign. MXFP4 is a genuinely new quantization format not
+used by any other model in this campaign or (as far as this session
+checked) elsewhere on this board -- whether `ggml-et.cpp`'s `MUL_MAT`
+implementation supports MXFP4 blocks at all is unconfirmed, a real
+open question, not assumed either way.
+
+## Open items for maintainer review
+
+- Registered in `artifacts.json`, `ported_models/llama_cpp_et/benchmarks/gpt_oss_20b.json`,
+  and `.github/ci/benchmark_config.json` (port 18143) -- board-testable
+  now, independent of the model-ports track claim below.
+- `ported_models/submissions/model_ports/gpt_oss_20b.json` is the
+  model-ports track claim, pending identity approval.
+- No changes to any protected file or the vendored submodule.
+- MXFP4 support on the ET backend specifically is genuinely unconfirmed,
+  not assumed to work.
