Model Card for OLMo 1B

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

For transformers versions v4.40.0 or newer, we suggest using OLMo 1B HF instead.

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.

Model Details

The core models released in this batch are the following:

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:

To load a specific model revision with HuggingFace, simply add the argument revision:

from hf_olmo import OLMoForCausalLM  # pip install ai2-olmo

olmo = OLMoForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-1B", revision="step20000-tokens84B")

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:

from huggingface_hub import list_repo_refs
out = list_repo_refs("allenai/OLMo-1B")
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:

pip install ai2-olmo

Now, proceed as usual with HuggingFace:

from hf_olmo import OLMoForCausalLM, OLMoTokenizerFast

olmo = OLMoForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-1B")
tokenizer = OLMoTokenizerFast.from_pretrained("allenai/OLMo-1B")
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-1B", 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.

    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:

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.

1. Further fine-tuning support is being developing in AI2's Open Instruct repository. Details are here.

Evaluation

<!-- This section describes the evaluation protocols and provides the results. -->

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

And for the 1B model:

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

Model Details

Data

For training data details, please see the Dolma documentation.

Architecture

OLMo 7B architecture with peer models for comparison.

Optimizer settings comparison with peer models.

Environmental Impact

OLMo 7B variants were either trained on MI250X GPUs at the LUMI supercomputer, or A100-40GB GPUs provided by MosaicML. A summary of the environmental impact. Further details are available in the paper.

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.
