OLMoE Instruct
Allen Institute for AIAi2's fully open mixture-of-experts instruct model, with roughly 1 billion active parameters out of 6.9 billion total, post-trained with supervised fine-tuning and DPO. It was released with its pretraining data, post-training data, training code, logs and 244 intermediate checkpoints.

open-instruct README describes the post-training code repo: "Code for finetuning language models with latest techniques and instruction datasets in a unified format." and "Code for DPO, preference finetuning and reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR)."
Adoption
2 high confidenceAdoption is measured as Hugging Face downloads summed across the two declared OLMoE artifacts, the instruct model and its pretraining mixture dataset. Nearly all of that volume goes to the model itself rather than to the dataset download.

Capability
2 medium confidenceThe model card calls it state-of-the-art among models of similar cost, about 1B active parameters, and its own comparison table puts it ahead of OLMo-7B, DeepSeek-3B-16B and Qwen1.5-3B-14B chat models on average score. Its small active-parameter budget keeps it well below full-size current chat models on absolute capability.
