Olmo 2 1B: New Small AI Model Triumphs - Ai2 has unveiled Olmo 2 1B, a 1-billion-parameter AI model outperforming similar models from Google, Meta, and Alibaba in arithmetic reasoning and factual accuracy benchmarks. The model is accessible to developers under the Apache 2.0 license on Hugging Face and can operate on minimal hardware.
Trained on 4 trillion tokens, Olmo 2 1B shows impressive capabilities but has the potential to generate harmful or inaccurate outputs. Ai2 cautions against its use in commercial applications due to these risks.
