OLMo 3

Ai2

Ai2's OLMo 3 family at 7B and 32B in Base, Think, Instruct and RL-Zero variants, released November 2025 with a December update. The weights ship with the 9.3-trillion-token Dolma 3 corpus, the training code, the data recipes and intermediate checkpoints, so the whole run can be inspected and modified. It supersedes OLMo 2.

Fully open: Apache-2.0 weights + the complete Dolma 3 corpus + training code + intermediate checkpoints. The reference fully-open model line. Dolma is ungated and `odc-by`, and the 7B card reads apache-2.0 with safetensors and `isGated: false`.

    "Olmo 3 is pretrained on Dolma 3, a new ~9.3-trillion-token corpus"; "Because the Olmo 3 data recipes, training pipeline, and checkpoints are open, independent teams can connect model behavior back to measurable" training decisions; "Olmo 3-Base delivers the strongest performance among fully open base models - where training data, code, and weights are all publicly available".

Adoption

3 medium confidence
3.0

146,145 downloads in the trailing 30 days across the two declared artifacts (allenai/Olmo-3-1125-32B 43,671; allenai/Olmo-3-1025-7B 102,474), which bands at level 3 (100K-1M) on the model adoption scale.

Capability

4 high confidence
4.0

The strongest fully-open base and reasoning model released so far: competitive with Qwen2.5 and Gemma 3 and approaching Qwen3-32B, but still a step below the trillion-parameter open-weight frontier that a 5 would require.

  • https://allenai.org/blog/olmo3 recorded 2026-08-13

    "the strongest fully open thinking model we're aware of, narrowing the gap to the best open-weight models of similar scale - such as Qwen 3 32B - while training on roughly 6x fewer tokens"; and "Olmo 3-Base delivers the strongest performance among fully open base models".
