Olmo 3

A fully open model flow spanning base, mid-trained, long-context, instruction, reasoning, and RL-zero checkpoints.

Checked release: Olmo 3 7B and 32B
Sources checked 2026-09-19

Olmo 3 model-flow release
· Primary source
Olmo 3.1 checkpoint update
· Primary source

This record begins with the Olmo 3 flow and its cited source also documents the later Olmo 3.1 checkpoint update.

The profile describes this checkpoint, not every release carrying the family name. Developer documentation is not independent reproduction.

THE MODEL / THE TERMS

Know what you are picking up.

Parameters
7B and 32B
Architecture
Dense decoder-only transformer with a documented multi-stage training pipeline.
Modalities
text
Context
Up to 65K tokens in the long-context models
Weights license
Apache-2.0 for models and code; data components retain their stated licenses
Commercial use
Model and code licenses permit commercial use; downstream users must review dataset licenses.
Memory
No universal minimum is asserted; 7B and 32B variants span consumer to multi-GPU deployments.
Known quantizations
Community quantizations are available; no single format is treated as canonical here

NINE DIMENSIONS / NO OPENNESS SCORE

What is actually available?

Each component has its own evidence. “Not established” means this source review did not verify availability; it is not a claim that nothing exists.

WHY THIS RELEASE MATTERS

What to explore.

  • End-to-end inspectability
  • Intermediate checkpoints
  • Open data
  • Reasoning research

WHAT THE RECORD DOES NOT ESTABLISH

Keep the limits.

  • Text-only
  • Full reproduction still requires substantial compute

Ai2 documents external research using the open stack, including Goodfire’s post-training behavior tracing; those case studies do not validate every capability claim.

CONNECTED EVIDENCE

A release becomes a starting point.

Thematic or family connections, not proof that an older application uses the selected checkpoint.
