About

Olmo 3 7B Instruct is an advanced language model developed by the Allen Institute for AI, designed to excel in complex reasoning tasks such as mathematics, programming, and conversational interactions. Through an extended chain-of-thought approach, it significantly enhances its performance on problems requiring deep reflection or intermediate steps. The model is optimized to follow precise instructions and generate structured responses, making it particularly well-suited for applications demanding rigorous logic or guided creativity. Its use cases include technical assistance, interactive education, analytical problem-solving, and code generation. What sets it apart is its training on specialized datasets (Dolci) and its open approach, fostering transparency and research in language model science.

Model Card for Olmo 3 7B Instruct

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:

Final Models (RLVR)Olmo-3-7B-ThinkOlmo-3-32B-ThinkOlmo-3-7B-Instruct

Installation

Olmo 3 is supported in transformers 4.57.0 or higher:

Bash
pip install transformers>=4.57.0

Inference

You can use OLMo with the standard HuggingFace transformers library:

Python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
olmo = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/Olmo-3-7B-Instruct")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("allenai/Olmo-3-7B-Instruct")
message = [{"role": "user", "content": "Who would win in a fight - a dinosaur or a cow named Moo Moo?"}]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(message, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors='pt', return_dict=True)
# 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.decode(response[0][inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))
>> 'This is a fun and imaginative question! Let’s break it down...'

For faster performance, you can quantize the model using the following method:

Python
AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/Olmo-3-7B-Instruct", 
    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:

Python
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:

Bash
olmo = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/Olmo-3-7B-Instruct", revision="step_300")

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-3-7B-Instruct")
branches = [b.name for b in out.branches]

Chat template

Inference & Recommended Settings

We evaluated our models on the following settings. We also recommend using them for generation:

  • temperature: 0.6
  • top_p: 0.95
  • max_tokens: 32768

transformers Example

Python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "allenai/Olmo-3-7B-Instruct"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    device_map="auto",
)

message = [{"role": "user", "content": "Who would win in a fight - a dinosaur or a cow named Moo Moo?"}]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(message, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors='pt', return_dict=True).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(
    **inputs,
    temperature=0.6,
    top_p=0.95,
    max_new_tokens=32768,
)

print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))

vllm Example

Python
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

model_id = "allenai/Olmo-3-7B-Instruct"
llm = LLM(model=model_id)

sampling_params = SamplingParams(
    temperature=0.6,
    top_p=0.95,
    max_tokens=32768,
)

message = [{"role": "user", "content": "Who would win in a fight - a dinosaur or a cow named Moo Moo?"}]
outputs = llm.chat(message, sampling_params)
print(outputs[0].outputs[0].text)

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Like any base language model or fine-tuned model without safety filtering, these models can easily be prompted by users to generate harmful and sensitive content. Such content may also be produced unintentionally, especially in cases involving bias, so we recommend that users consider the risks when applying this technology. Additionally, many statements from OLMo or any LLM are often inaccurate, so facts should be verified.
