- Implements official reasoning_effort parameter (low/medium/high)
- Uses tokenizer.apply_chat_template with reasoning_effort
- Stores reasoning effort level in output dataset
- Updated to transformers>=4.55.0 for proper support

-# 🚀 OpenAI GPT OSS Models - Open Source Language Models with Reasoning
+# 🚀 OpenAI GPT OSS Models - Works on Regular GPUs!
 
-Generate responses with transparent chain-of-thought reasoning using OpenAI's new open source GPT models. Run on cloud GPUs with zero setup!
+Generate synthetic datasets with transparent reasoning using OpenAI's GPT OSS models. **No H100s required** - works on L4, A100, A10G, and even T4 GPUs!
 
-## 🏁 Quick Setup for HF Jobs (One-time)
+## 🎉 Key Discovery
 
-```bash
-# Install huggingface-hub CLI using uv
-uv tool install huggingface-hub
+**The models work on regular datacenter GPUs!** Transformers automatically handles MXFP4 → bf16 conversion, making these models accessible on standard hardware.
 
-# Login to Hugging Face
-huggingface-cli login
+## 🌟 Quick Start
 
-# Now you're ready to run jobs!
+### Test Locally (Single Prompt)
+```bash
+uv run gpt_oss_transformers.py --prompt "Write a haiku about mountains"
 ```

 ## 💡 What You Get
 
 The models output structured reasoning in separate channels:
 
+**Raw Output**:
+```
+analysisI need to write a haiku about mountains. Haiku: 5-7-5 syllable structure...
+assistantfinalSilent peaks climb high,
+Echoing winds trace stone's breath,
+Dawn paints them gold bright.
+```
+
+**Parsed Dataset**:
 ```json
 {
-  "prompt": "Write a haiku about mountain serenity",
-  "think": "I need to create a haiku with 5-7-5 syllable structure. Mountains suggest stillness, permanence. For serenity, I'll use calm imagery like 'silent peaks' (3 syllables)...",
-  "content": "Silent peaks stand tall\nClouds drift through morning stillness\nPeace in stone and sky",
+  "prompt": "Write a haiku about mountains",
+  "think": "[Analysis] I need to write a haiku about mountains. Haiku: 5-7-5 syllable structure...",
+  "content": "Silent peaks climb high,\nEchoing winds trace stone's breath,\nDawn paints them gold bright.",
   "reasoning_level": "high",
   "model": "openai/gpt-oss-20b"
 }

+## 🔧 Technical Details
+
+### Why It Works Without H100s
+
+1. **Automatic MXFP4 Handling**: When your GPU doesn't support MXFP4, you'll see:
+   ```
+   MXFP4 quantization requires triton >= 3.4.0 and triton_kernels installed, 
+   we will default to dequantizing the model to bf16
+   ```
+
+2. **No Flash Attention 3 Required**: FA3 needs Hopper architecture, but models work fine without it
+
+3. **Simple Loading**: Just use standard transformers:
+   ```python
+   model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
+       "openai/gpt-oss-20b",
+       torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
+       device_map="auto"
+   )
+   ```
+
+### Channel Output Format
+
+The models use a simplified channel format:
+- `analysis`: Chain of thought reasoning
+- `commentary`: Meta operations (optional)
+- `final`: User-facing response
+
+### Reasoning Control
+
+Control reasoning depth via system message:
+```python
+messages = [
+    {
+        "role": "system", 
+        "content": f"...Reasoning: {level}..."
+    },
+    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
+]
+```
 
-## 🎯 Key Features
-
-- **Open Source Models**: `openai/gpt-oss-20b` and `openai/gpt-oss-120b`
-- **Structured Output**: Separate channels for reasoning (`analysis`) and response (`final`)
-- **Zero Setup**: Run with a single command on HF Jobs
-- **Flexible Input**: Works with any prompt dataset
-- **Automatic Upload**: Results pushed directly to your Hub account
-
-## 🎯 Use Cases
-
-1. **Training Data**: Create datasets with built-in reasoning explanations
-2. **Evaluation**: Generate test sets where each answer includes its rationale
-3. **Research**: Study how large models approach different types of problems
-4. **Applications**: Build systems that can explain their outputs
+## 🚨 Best Practices
 
-## 🤔 Which Script to Use?
+1. **Token Limits**: Use 1000+ tokens for detailed reasoning
+2. **Security**: Never expose reasoning channels to end users
+3. **Batch Size**: Keep at 1 for memory efficiency
+4. **Reasoning Levels**:
+   - `low`: Quick responses
+   - `medium`: Balanced reasoning
+   - `high`: Detailed chain-of-thought
 
-- **`gpt_oss_vllm.py`**: First choice for performance and scale
-- **`gpt_oss_transformers.py`**: Fallback if vLLM has compatibility issues
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
 
-## 🔧 Requirements
+### Out of Memory
+- Use larger GPU flavor: `--flavor a100-large`
+- Reduce batch size to 1
+- Try 8-bit quantization for smaller GPUs
 
-For HF Jobs:
-- Hugging Face account (free)
-- `huggingface-hub` CLI tool
+### No GPU Available
+- Use HuggingFace Jobs (no local GPU needed!)
+- Or use cloud instances with GPU support
 
-For local execution:
-- Python 3.10+
-- GPU with CUDA support
-- Hugging Face token
+### Empty Reasoning
+- Increase `--max-tokens` to 1500+
+- Ensure prompts trigger reasoning
