Benefits of the OSI Model
By separating the network communications into logical smaller pieces, the OSI model simplifies how network protocols are designed. The OSI model was designed to ensure different types of equipment (such as network adapters, hubs, and routers) would all be compatible even if built by different manufacturers. A product from one network equipment vendor that implements OSI Layer 2 functionality, for example, will be much more likely to interoperate with another vendor's OSI Layer 3 product because both vendors are following the same model.
The OSI model also makes network designs more extensible as new protocols and other network services are generally easier to add to a layered architecture than to a monolithic one.

The key benifit of OSI model is
It provide the model layer to many organization to follow and make there standards.

The benefits of following the OSI model are as follows:
Any hardware that meets the OSI standard will be able to communicate with any other hardware that also meets the standard
Any software that meets the OSI standard will be able to communicate with any other hardware or software that also meets the standard
Consumers are given a wider choice since hardware/software from any manufacturer will work together
OSI is independent of country, it doesn't matter where the hardware/software is made
OSi is not dependent on the operating system used
The Protocols for OSI are defined at each stage
Any errors that occur are handled in each layer
The different layers can operate automatically
