You can now access OpenAI's latest open source model, GPT-OSS-Safeguard-20B using Vercel's [AI Gateway](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway) with no other provider accounts required.

GPT-OSS-Safeguard-20B is a fine-tuned version of its general-purpose GPT-OSS model, designed for developers to implement custom, policy-driven content moderation.

AI Gateway lets you call the model with a consistent unified API and just a single string update, track usage and cost, and configure performance optimizations, retries, and failover for higher than provider-average uptime.

To use it with the [AI SDK](https://ai-sdk.dev/), set the model to `openai/gpt-oss-safeguard-20b`:

```tsx
import { streamText } from 'ai'
const result = streamText({
  model: "openai/gpt-oss-safeguard-20b",
  prompt: "Why are safety classification models important?"
})
```

Includes built-in [observability](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/observability), [Bring Your Own Key support](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway#configuring-your-own-provider-keys-byok), and intelligent [provider routing](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/provider-options) with automatic retries.
