What allenai says about OLMo-2-0425-SFT

Read the model card

OLMo 2 1B SFT April 2025 is post-trained variant of the allenai/OLMo-2-0425-1B model, which has undergone supervised finetuning on an OLMo-specific variant of the Tülu 3 dataset. 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, and associated training details.

Model description

  • Model type: A model trained on a mix of publicly available, synthetic and human-created datasets.
  • Language(s) (NLP): Primarily English
  • License: Apache 2.0
  • Finetuned from model: allenai/OLMo-2-0425-1B

Model Sources

  • Project Page: https://allenai.org/olmo
  • Repositories:
    • Core repo (training, inference, fine-tuning etc.): https://github.com/allenai/OLMo-core
    • Evaluation code: https://github.com/allenai/olmes
    • Further fine-tuning code: https://github.com/allenai/open-instruct
  • Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.00656

Installation

OLMo 2 1B 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

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-2-0425-1B-SFT")

Chat template

NOTE: This is different than previous OLMo 2 and Tülu 3 models due to a minor change in configuration. It does NOT have the bos token before the rest. Our other models have at the beginning of the chat template.

The chat template for our models is formatted as:

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

Or with new lines expanded:

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

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

Intermediate Checkpoints

To facilitate research on RL finetuning, we have released our intermediate checkpoints during the model's RLVR training. The model weights are saved every 20 training steps, and can be accessible in the revisions of the HuggingFace repository. For example, you can load with:

olmo_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-2-0425-1B-SFT", revision="step_200")

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.
