Model Card for OLMo 7B July 2024 Instruct

Requires transformers versions v4.40.0 or newer

OLMo is a series of Open Language Models designed to enable the science of language models. The OLMo base models are trained on the Dolma dataset. The adapted versions are trained on the Tulu SFT mixture and, for the Instruct version, a cleaned version of the UltraFeedback dataset.

OLMo 7B Instruct SFT are two adapted versions of these models trained for better question answering. These are updated OLMo models corresponding to our July 2024 release. They show the performance gain that OLMo base models can achieve with existing fine-tuning techniques.

Model Details

We release two adapted model versions:

Model	Training Method(s)	Datasets	Context Length
OLMo 7B July 2024 SFT	SFT	Tulu 2 SFT Mix	4096
OLMo 7B July 2024 Instruct	SFT + DPO	Tulu 2 SFT Mix + Ultrafeedback Cleaned	4096

These models are both trained on top of OLMo 7b July 2024:

Size	Training Tokens	Layers	Hidden Size	Attention Heads	Context Length
OLMo 7B July 2024	2.7T	32	4096	32	4096

Inference

You can run these models using recent (>= 4.40) versions of transformers.

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
olmo = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-7B-0724-Instruct-hf")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-7B-0724-Instruct-hf")
chat = [
    { "role": "user", "content": "What is language modeling?" },
]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = tokenizer.encode(prompt, add_special_tokens=False, return_tensors="pt")
# optional verifying cuda
# inputs = {k: v.to('cuda') for k,v in inputs.items()}
# olmo = olmo.to('cuda')
response = olmo.generate(input_ids=inputs.to(olmo.device), max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=True, top_k=50, top_p=0.95)
print(tokenizer.batch_decode(response, skip_special_tokens=True)[0])
>> '<|user|>\nWhat is language modeling?\n<|assistant|>\nLanguage modeling is a type of natural language processing (NLP) task or machine learning task that...'

You can make this slightly faster by quantizing the model, e.g. OLMoForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-7B-Instruct", torch_dtype=torch.float16, load_in_8bit=True) (requires bitsandbytes). The quantized model is more sensitive to typing / cuda, so it is recommended to pass the inputs as inputs.input_ids.to('cuda') to avoid potential issues.

Evaluation

Core model results for the 7B adapted models are found below.

Model	MMLU 0-shot ↑	AlpacaEval %win ↑	ToxiGen % Toxic ↓	TruthfulQA %Info+True ↑
OLMo July 2024 base	50.8	-	85.2	28.4
OLMo 7B July 2024 SFT	54.2	70.9	.1	44.4
OLMo 7B July 2024 Instruct	52.8	83.5	1.7	70.3

Model Details

Data

For training data details, please see the Dolma, Tulu 2, and UltraFeedback documentation.

Architecture

Hyperparameters

The hyperparameters for the two phases of training are below:

	Learning Rate	Beta	Epochs	Warmup	Weight Decay	Gradient Clipping	Maximum Sequence Length
SFT	2 × 10^-6	N/A	3	Linear warmup for the first 3% of total training time, then cooldown to 0	0	0	4096
DPO	5 × 10^-7	0.1	3	Linear warmup for the first 10% of total training time, then cooldown to 0	0	0	4096

Compared to Tulu 2, DPO hyperparameters are the same. SFT is lower LR and 3 epochs instead of 2 (and 2k length instead of 8k).

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

This adapted OLMo model is a research artifact. It is intended to benefit the research community interested in understanding the safety properties of LLMs and developers building safety tools for LLMs. For this reason, the model does not include a specific safety filter or safety training data. While our model scores well relative to its peers on ToxiGen, it is possible for the model to generate harmful and sensitive content from some user prompts. We recommend developers exercise caution and consider the risks of the applications of this technology. Furthermore, developers should consider implementing safeguards for biases, privacy, and other potential harms when appropriate. Finally, as with every LLM, OLMo may produce factual-sounding outputs that may not be true, so developers and users are encouraged to confirm such outputs before relying on them. All users of this model are responsible for how they use the model.
