The Gaussian overlap model was developed by Bruce J. Berne and Philip Pechukas [1]and is given by Eq. 3 in the aforementioned reference:

Server problem."): {\displaystyle \Phi _{12}(\mathbf {u} _{1},\mathbf {u} _{2},\mathbf {r} )=\epsilon (\mathbf {u} _{1},\mathbf {u} _{2})\exp \left[{\frac {-r}{\sigma (\mathbf {u} _{1},\mathbf {u} _{2},{\hat {\mathbf {r} }})}}\right]^{n}}

Not long after the introduction of the Gaussian overlap model Stillinger [2] proposed a stripped-down version of the model, known as the Gaussian core model. Note that as this potential becomes the penetrable sphere model.
