# Model Card for OLMo 1B

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

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.
This model has been converted from [allenai/OLMo-1B](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-1B) 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](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-1B-hf)   | 3 Trillion |16     | 2048        | 16              | 2048  |
| [OLMo 7B](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-7B-hf) | 2.5 Trillion   | 32     | 4096        | 32              |  2048  |
| [OLMo 7B Twin 2T](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-7B-Twin-2T-hf) | 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-1B](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-1B).

## 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:
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
olmo = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-1B-hf")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-1B-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:
```python
from transformers import pipeline
olmo_pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="allenai/OLMo-1B-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-1B-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-1B](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-1B).

## 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.
