Upon the initial release of OLMo-2 models, we realized the post-trained models did not share the pre-tokenization logic that the base models use. As a result, we have trained new post-trained models. The new models are available under the same names as the original models, but we have made the old models available with a postfix "-preview". See OLMo 2 Preview Post-trained Models for the colleciton of the legacy models.

Release Documentation

OLMo 2 13B Instruct November 2024 is post-trained variant of the OLMo-2 13B November 2024 model, which has undergone supervised finetuning on an OLMo-specific variant of the [Tülu 3 dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/tulu-3-sft-olmo-2-mixture and further DPO training on this dataset, and finally RLVR training using this data. Tülu 3 is designed for state-of-the-art performance on a diversity of tasks in addition to chat, such as MATH, GSM8K, and IFEval. Check out the OLMo 2 paper or Tülu 3 paper for more details!

OLMo is a series of Open Language Models designed to enable the science of language models. These models are trained on the Dolma dataset. We are releasing all code, checkpoints, logs (coming soon), and associated training details. The core models released in this batch include the following:

Stage	OLMo 2 7B	OLMo 2 13B
Base Model	allenai/OLMo2-7B-1124	allenai/OLMo-2-13B-1124

Installation

OLMo 2 will be supported in the next version of Transformers, and you need to install it from the main branch using:

pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git

Using the model

Loading with HuggingFace

To load the model with HuggingFace, use the following snippet:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM

olmo_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-2-1124-13B-Instruct")

Chat template

The chat template for our models is formatted as:

<|endoftext|><|user|>\nHow are you doing?\n<|assistant|>\nI'm just a computer program, so I don't have feelings, but I'm functioning as expected. How can I assist you today?<|endoftext|>

Or with new lines expanded:

<|endoftext|><|user|>
How are you doing?
<|assistant|>
I'm just a computer program, so I don't have feelings, but I'm functioning as expected. How can I assist you today?<|endoftext|>

It is embedded within the tokenizer as well, for tokenizer.apply_chat_template.

System prompt

In Ai2 demos, we use this system prompt by default:

You are OLMo 2, a helpful and harmless AI Assistant built by the Allen Institute for AI.

The model has not been trained with a specific system prompt in mind.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

The OLMo-2 models have limited safety training, but are not deployed automatically with in-the-loop filtering of responses like ChatGPT, so the model can produce problematic outputs (especially when prompted to do so). See the Falcon 180B model card for an example of this.
