# Model Card for OLMo 7B

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

**For transformers versions v4.40.0 or newer, we suggest using [OLMo 7B HF](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-7B-hf) instead.**

OLMo is a series of **O**pen **L**anguage **Mo**dels designed to enable the science of language models.
The OLMo models are trained on the [Dolma](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/dolma) dataset.
We release all code, checkpoints, logs (coming soon), and details involved in training these models.

*A new version of this model with a 24 point improvement on MMLU is available [here](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-1.7-7B)*.

## Model Details

The core models released in this batch are the following: 
| Size | Training Tokens | Layers | Hidden Size | Attention Heads | Context Length |
|------|--------|---------|-------------|-----------------|----------------|
| [OLMo 1B](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-1B)   | 3 Trillion |16     | 2048        | 16              | 2048  |
| [OLMo 7B](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-7B) | 2.5 Trillion   | 32     | 4096        | 32              |  2048  |
| [OLMo 7B Twin 2T](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-7B-Twin-2T) | 2 Trillion   | 32     | 4096        | 32              |  2048  |

We are releasing many checkpoints for these models, for every 1000 traing steps.
The naming convention is `step1000-tokens4B`.
In particular, we focus on four revisions of the 7B models:

| Name | HF Repo | Model Revision |  Tokens | Note |
|------------|---------|----------------|-------------------|------|
|OLMo 7B| [allenai/OLMo-7B](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-7B)|`main`| 2.5T|The base OLMo 7B model|
|OLMo 7B (not annealed)|[allenai/OLMo-7B](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-7B)|step556000-tokens2460B|2.5T| learning rate not annealed to 0|
|OLMo 7B-2T|[allenai/OLMo-7B](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-7B)| step452000-tokens2000B |2T| OLMo checkpoint at 2T tokens|
|OLMo-7B-Twin-2T|[allenai/OLMo-7B-Twin-2T](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-7B-Twin-2T)|`main`|2T| Twin version on different hardware|

To load a specific model revision with HuggingFace, simply add the argument `revision`:
```bash
from hf_olmo import OLMoForCausalLM  # pip install ai2-olmo

olmo = OLMoForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-7B", revision="step1000-tokens4B")
```

All revisions/branches are listed in the file `revisions.txt`. 
Or, you can access all the revisions for the models via the following code snippet:
```python
from huggingface_hub import list_repo_refs
out = list_repo_refs("allenai/OLMo-7B")
branches = [b.name for b in out.branches]
```
A few revisions were lost due to an error, but the vast majority are present.

## Uses

<!-- Address questions around how the model is intended to be used, including the foreseeable users of the model and those affected by the model. -->

### Inference
Quickly get inference running with the following required installation:
```bash
pip install ai2-olmo
```
Now, proceed as usual with HuggingFace:
```python
from hf_olmo import OLMoForCausalLM, OLMoTokenizerFast

olmo = OLMoForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-7B")
tokenizer = OLMoTokenizerFast.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-7B")
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...'
```

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

Note, you may see the following error if `ai2-olmo` is not installed correctly, which is caused by internal Python check naming. We'll update the code soon to make this error clearer.
```bash
    raise ImportError(
ImportError: This modeling file requires the following packages that were not found in your environment: hf_olmo. Run `pip install hf_olmo`
```

### 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 repository:
```bash
torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 scripts/train.py {path_to_train_config} \
    --data.paths=[{path_to_data}/input_ids.npy] \
    --data.label_mask_paths=[{path_to_data}/label_mask.npy] \
    --load_path={path_to_checkpoint} \
    --reset_trainer_state
```
For more documentation, see the [GitHub readme](https://github.com/allenai/OLMo?tab=readme-ov-file#fine-tuning).

2. Further fine-tuning support is being developing in AI2's Open Instruct repository. Details are [here](https://github.com/allenai/open-instruct).

## 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.
