About
We introduce Olmo 3, a new family of 7B and 32B models both Instruct and Think variants. Long chain-of-thought thinking improves reasoning tasks like math and coding.
Olmo is a series of Open language models designed to enable the science of language models. These models are pre-trained on the Dolma 3 dataset and post-trained on the Dolci datasets. 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 3 7B Think | Olmo 3 32B Think | Olmo 3 7B Instruct |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base Model | Olmo-3-7B | Olmo-3-32B | Olmo-3-7B |
| SFT | Olmo-3-7B-Think-SFT | Olmo-3-32B-Think-SFT | Olmo-3-7B-Instruct-SFT |
| DPO | Olmo-3-7B-Think-DPO | Olmo-3-32B-Think-DPO | Olmo-3-7B-Instruct-DPO |
| Final Models (RLVR) | Olmo-3-7B-Think | Olmo-3-32B-Think | Olmo-3-7B-Instruct |
Olmo 3 is supported in transformers 4.57.0 or higher:
pip install transformers>=4.57.0
You can use OLMo with the standard HuggingFace transformers library:
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
olmo = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/Olmo-3-7B-Think-SFT")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("allenai/Olmo-3-7B-Think-SFT")
message = ["Who would win in a fight - a dinosaur or a cow named Moo Moo?"]
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])
>> 'Okay, so the question is who would win in a fight...'
For faster performance, you can quantize the model using the following method:
AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/Olmo-3-7B-Think-SFT",
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 post-training, the naming convention is step_XXXX.
To load a specific model revision with HuggingFace, simply add the argument revision:
olmo = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/Olmo-3-7B-Think-SFT", revision="step_11000")
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-3-7B-Think-SFT")
branches = [b.name for b in out.branches]

Who would win in a fight - a dinosaur or a cow named Moo Moo?
Hmm, first I need to break this down. Let me think about the different factors involved here.....
Moo Moo the cow would certinaly win.

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys olmo-3-think-sft for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (olmo-3-think-sft below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"olmo-3-think-sft","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
