gpt-oss-120b scores 70.2 (BB) on agent readiness against SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview's 46.8 (D), and leads in every scored category. Both do open-weight models you run yourself.

- gpt-oss-120b: BB 70.2, rank #6 of 160 open-weight models · https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/gpt-oss-120b.min.md
- SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview: D 46.8, rank #155 of 160 open-weight models · https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/sensenova-loop-9b-preview.min.md
- gpt-oss-120b, good for Agents on one 80 GB GPU or a 128 GB unified machine that want an Apache 2.0 reasoning model with wide runtime support Ahead on Reach, 75 against 40; Risk, 95 against 50; Agent interface, 90 against 60. Also Agent-ready, a grade of BB or better.
- SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview, good for Researchers who want to study or fine-tune a looped transformer, more than agents that need a model to call today

Why the edge:
- Risk, gpt-oss-120b +45: gpt-oss-120b 95 (File safety earns 25, safetensors only, with metal/model.bin a raw format and not pickle, and nothing from the repository runs on load.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 50 (File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).)
- Reach, gpt-oss-120b +35: gpt-oss-120b 75 (Memory earns 10, because the smallest 4-bit build, Ollama's 65 GB gpt-oss:120b, needs about 78 GB with the fifth added, which fits the reference machine but not…); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 40 (Memory 15, the only build is the safetensors set, 38.14 GB with its MTP head, since the Hub counts 9.41B of its parameters in F32. Runtimes 0, none of the six r…)
- Agent interface, gpt-oss-120b +30: gpt-oss-120b 90 (The chat template earns 20, a Jinja file in the repository.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 60 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (7,756 characters).)
