✍️Reminder: we've got open positions on our OLMo team for predoctoral candidates! Apply to be a Predoctoral Young Investigator by January 15.

Everyone wants open-source language models but no one wants to lift these heavy ass weights. We just released our paper "2 OLMo 2 Furious" with extensive language modeling details across the entire stack for OLMo 2. Can't stop us in 2025.

Our senior director Hannaneh Hajishirzi has been trying to solve puzzles since she was a child. Don't take our word for it — Hanna's mom is one of the featured interviews in this awesome profile by GeekWire!

Meet OLMo 2, the best fully open language model to date, including a family of 7B and 13B models trained up to 5T tokens. OLMo 2 outperforms other fully open models and competes with open-weight models like Llama 3.1 8B — As always, we released our data, code, recipes and more 🎁 Read about the OLMo 2 recipe in our blog: https://lnkd.in/gPMeBczs

Meet Tülu 3 -- a set of state-of-the-art instruct models with fully open data, evaluation, code, and training algorithms, designed to serve as a comprehensive guide for modern post-training techniques. We invented new methods for fine-tuning language models with RL and built upon best practices in the community to scale synthetic instruction and preference data. We’re excited to bring the Tulu 3 recipe to more models shortly 🥳 Try it out: https://lnkd.in/gk3Q49a5

Much of the #AI spotlight is on Meta, Google, Amazon, OpenAI, Anthropic, and others in "Big AI." But there's another one looking to make waves and has been studying artificial intelligence for over a decade: Ai2. Created by the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, AI2 wants to develop AI for the common good. It's arguably one of the most prolific AI research institutions, having published over 1,000 papers and has won many awards, minus a Turing Award, for its work. Ali Farhadi, a University of Washington professor and a long-time #AI researcher, is now leading that charge. An early employee, he helped build the firm's computer vision team, eventually developing technology that became a startup that Apple acquired. After a few years away, Farhadi returned for an opportunity he couldn't pass up: Taking control of AI2. Under his stewardship, the company's focus has narrowed, targeting areas where its work will have the most significant impact. One of them is promoting openness in AI. "AI is born and raised in the open," Farhadi tells me in an interview conducted at AI2's Seattle, Washington office. Today's issue of The AI Economy examines the work AI2 is doing, the importance of openness in AI, why Farhadi claims we're in an "evaluation crisis," the future of the technology, and what he thinks about artificial general intelligence (AGI) Plus, remember this week's curated news roundup! ---- 🔔 Enjoy what you read?
