Model Card for OLMo 7B

OLMo is a series of Open Language Models designed to enable the science of language models. The OLMo models are trained on the Dolma dataset. We release all code, checkpoints, logs (coming soon), and details involved in training these models. This model has been converted from allenai/OLMo-7B for the Hugging Face Transformers format.

Model Details

The core models released in this batch are the following:

Size	Training Tokens	Layers	Hidden Size	Attention Heads	Context Length
OLMo 1B	3 Trillion	16	2048	16	2048
OLMo 7B	2.5 Trillion	32	4096	32	2048
OLMo 7B Twin 2T	2 Trillion	32	4096	32	2048

We are releasing many checkpoints for these models, for every 1000 training steps. These have not yet been converted into Hugging Face Transformers format, but are available in allenai/OLMo-7B.

Uses

Inference

Quickly get inference running with the following:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
olmo = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-7B-hf")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-7B-hf")
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 the first step to build natural language generation...'

Alternatively, with the pipeline abstraction:

from transformers import pipeline
olmo_pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="allenai/OLMo-7B-hf")
print(olmo_pipe("Language modeling is "))
>> 'Language modeling is a branch of natural language processing that aims to...'

Or, you can make this slightly faster by quantizing the model, e.g. AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-7B-hf", 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.

Fine-tuning

This model does not directly support our fine-tuning processes. Model fine-tuning can be done from the final checkpoint or many intermediate checkpoints of allenai/OLMo-7B.

*Unlike OLMo, Pythia, and TinyLlama, StabilityAI has not disclosed yet the data StableLM was trained on, making comparisons with other efforts challenging.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Like any base language model or fine-tuned model without safety filtering, it is relatively easy for a user to prompt these models to generate harmful and generally sensitive content. Such content can also be produced unintentionally, especially in the case of bias, so we recommend users consider the risks of applications of this technology.

Otherwise, many facts from OLMo or any LLM will often not be true, so they should be checked.
