Yes—if you mean OpenAI’s open-weight models (gpt-oss), they can run both ways: as a managed hosting option through hosting partners, or as a self-hosted deployment on infrastructure you control. OpenAI says these deployments are self-managed/self-serviced when self-hosted, and that the models are designed to run on your own premises, private cloud, or through a hosting partner. (help.openai.com) Recommendation: - Best for managed service: use a hosting partner for gpt-oss. - Best for self-hosted: deploy gpt-oss on your own cloud or on-prem infrastructure. (help.openai.com) If you’re asking about a specific product rather than OpenAI’s open-weight models, send me the product name and I’ll tell you whether it supports managed service, self-hosted, or both.
