block, and it’s one of the few that can be reproduced from scratch. </p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">On Tuesday, Ai2, the nonprofit AI research organization founded by the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, released OLMo 2, the second family of models in its OLMo series. (OLMo is short for “open language model.”) While there’s no shortage of “open” language models to choose from (e.g., Meta’s <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/08/meta-llama-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-open-generative-ai-model/">Llama</a>), OLMo 2 meets the Open Source Initiative’s definition of open source AI, meaning the tools and data used to develop it are publicly available.</p> <div class="ad-unit ad-unit--mobile ad-unit--has-placeholder ad-unit--display wp-block-tc-ads-ad-slot has-background has-gray-100-background-color"> <div class="ad-unit__ad" id="us-tc-ros-mw-mid-center" data-unitcode="us_tc_ros_mw_mid_center" data-sizes="[[300,250],[3,2],[2,2]]" style="min-height:250px;min-width:300px;"> </div> </div> <div class="ad-unit ad-unit--desktop ad-unit--native wp-block-tc-ads-ad-slot"> <div class="ad-unit__ad" id="us-tc-ros-dt-native-midarticle" data-unitcode="us_tc_ros_dt_native_midarticle" data-sizes="["fluid"]" style="min-height:0px;min-width:0px;"> </div> </div> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Open Source Initiative, the <a href="https://opensource.org/history" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">long-running institution</a> that aims to define and “steward” all things open source, finalized its open source AI definition in October. But the <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/01/ai2-open-sources-text-generating-ai-models-and-the-data-used-to-train-them/">first OLMo models</a>, released in February, met the criterion as well.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">“OLMo 2 [was] developed start-to-finish with open and accessible training data, open-source training code, reproducible training recipes, transparent evaluations, intermediate checkpoints, and more,” AI2 wrote in a <a href="https://allenai.org/olmo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">blog post</a>. “By openly sharing our data, recipes, and findings, we hope to provide the open-source community with the resources needed to discover new and innovative approaches.”</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are two models in the OLMo 2 family: one with 7 billion parameters (OLMo 7B) and one with 13 billion parameters (OLMo 13B). Parameters roughly correspond to a model’s problem-solving skills, and models with more parameters generally perform better than those with fewer parameters.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like most language models, OLMo 2 7B and 13B can perform a range of text-based tasks, like answering questions, summarizing documents, and writing code.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">To train the models, Ai2 used a dataset of 5 trillion tokens. Tokens represent bits of raw data; 1 million tokens is equal to about 750,000 words. The training set included websites “filtered for high quality,” academic papers, Q&A discussion boards, and math workbooks “both synthetic and human generated.”</p> <div class="marfeel-experience-inline-cta wp-block-tc23-marfeel-experience"> </div> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ai2 claims the result is models that are competitive, performance-wise, with open models like Meta’s <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/23/meta-releases-its-biggest-open-ai-model-yet/">Llama 3.1</a> release.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1768" height="1215" src="https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1732648723-olmo2-2.webp?w=680" alt="OLMo Ai2" class="wp-image-2921615" srcset="https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1732648723-olmo2-2.webp 1768w, https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1732648723-olmo2-2.webp?resize=150,103 150w, https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1732648723-olmo2-2.webp?resize=300,206 300w, https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1732648723-olmo2-2.webp?resize=768,528 768w, https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1732648723-olmo2-2.webp?resize=680,467 680w, https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1732648723-olmo2-2.webp?resize=1200,825 1200w, https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1732648723-olmo2-2.webp?resize=1280,880 1280w, https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1732648723-olmo2-2.webp?resize=430,296 430w, https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1732648723-olmo2-2.webp?resize=720,495 720w, https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1732648723-olmo2-2.webp?resize=900,618 900w, https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1732648723-olmo2-2.webp?resize=800,550 800w, https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1732648723-olmo2-2.webp?resize=1536,1056 1536w, https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1732648723-olmo2-2.webp?resize=668,459 668w, https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1732648723-olmo2-2.webp?resize=546,375 546w, https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1732648723-olmo2-2.webp?resize=898,617 898w, https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1732648723-olmo2-2.webp?resize=708,487 708w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1768px) 100vw, 1768px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><span class="wp-block-image__credits"><strong>Image Credits:</strong>Ai2</span></figcaption></figure> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Not only do we observe a dramatic improvement in performance across all tasks compared to our earlier OLMo model but, notably, OLMo 2 7B outperforms Llama 3.1 8B,” Ai2 writes. “OLMo 2 [represents] the best fully-open language models to date.”</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">The OLMo 2 models and all of their components can be downloaded from Ai2’s <a href="https://allenai.org/olmo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">website</a>.

When I asked Ai2 engineer Dirk Groeneveld in February whether he was concerned about OLMo being abused, he said that he believes the benefits ultimately outweigh the harms.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Yes, it’s possible open models may be used inappropriately or for unintended purposes,” he said. “[However, this] approach also promotes technical advancements that lead to more ethical models; is a prerequisite for verification and reproducibility, as these can only be achieved with access to the full stack; and reduces a growing concentration of power, creating more equitable access.”</p> </div> <div class="wp-block-tc23-post-relevant-terms"> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Topics</p> <div class="tc23-post-relevant-terms__terms"> <a
