Model Details

Model Card for OLMo 2 32B

We introduce OLMo 2 32B, the largest model in the OLMo 2 family. OLMo 2 was pre-trained on OLMo-mix-1124 and uses Dolmino-mix-1124 for mid-training.

OLMo 2 is the latest in a series of Open Language Models designed to enable the science of language models. We have released all code, checkpoints, logs, and associated training details on GitHub.

Installation

OLMo 2 32B is supported in transformers v4.48 or higher:

pip install transformers>=4.48

If using vLLM, you will need to install from the main branch until v0.7.4 is released. Please

Inference

You can use OLMo with the standard HuggingFace transformers library:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
olmo = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-2-0325-32B")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-2-0325-32B")
message = ["Language modeling is "]
inputs = tokenizer(message, return_tensors='pt', return_token_type_ids=False)
# optional verifying cuda
# inputs = {k: v.to('cuda') for k,v in inputs.items()}
# olmo = olmo.to('cuda')
response = olmo.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=True, top_k=50, top_p=0.95)
print(tokenizer.batch_decode(response, skip_special_tokens=True)[0])
>> 'Language modeling is  a key component of any text-based application, but its effectiveness...'

For faster performance, you can quantize the model using the following method:

AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-2-0325-32B",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    load_in_8bit=True)  # Requires bitsandbytes

The quantized model is more sensitive to data types and CUDA operations. To avoid potential issues, it's recommended to pass the inputs directly to CUDA using:

inputs.input_ids.to('cuda')

We have released checkpoints for these models. For pretraining, the naming convention is stage1-stepXXX-tokensYYYB. For checkpoints with ingredients of the soup, the naming convention is stage2-ingredientN-stepXXX-tokensYYYB

To load a specific model revision with HuggingFace, simply add the argument revision:

olmo = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-2-0325-32B", revision="step250000-tokens2098B")

Or, you can access all the revisions for the models via the following code snippet:

from huggingface_hub import list_repo_refs
out = list_repo_refs("allenai/OLMo-2-0325-32B")
branches = [b.name for b in out.branches]

Fine-tuning

Model fine-tuning can be done from the final checkpoint (the main revision of this model) or many intermediate checkpoints. Two recipes for tuning are available.

  1. Fine-tune with the OLMo-core repository:
torchrun --nproc-per-node=8 ./src/scripts/official/OLMo2-0325-32B-train.py run01

You can override most configuration options from the command-line. For example, to override the learning rate you could launch the script like this:

torchrun --nproc-per
