Model release

Olmo 3 7B Instruct

Olmo 3 7B Instruct is an open-stack model release in the OLMo family from Ai2 (Allen Institute for AI)1, version Olmo-3-7B-Instruct, released Nov 20, 2025. Its weights, inference and training code, and training recipe are public1; the weights are under the Apache License 2.01.

A 7B chat model in Ai2's Olmo 3 release, post-trained from the Olmo 3 7B base model with supervised fine-tuning, direct preference optimization, and reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards on the Dolci datasets. It responds without a separate reasoning trace, unlike the Olmo 3 Think models.11114

Availability and license

Overall availability

Public

Downloadable from Hugging Face without gating. The card says the model is intended for research and educational use in line with Ai2's Responsible Use Guidelines.1

Availability fact review: not separately recorded

Availability is separate from permission: read the license before using or redistributing.

The model card states the model is licensed under Apache 2.0 and intended for research and educational use in accordance with Ai2's Responsible Use Guidelines, which list categories of prohibited use.116

Component reuse rights

A readable or downloadable component is not automatically reusable. These indicators concern recorded license evidence, not system certification.

Model-disclosure tier

Computed from the checklist below using USASI rubric v0.2. An editorial category, not a certification.
Model-disclosure tier (USASI rubric v0.2): Open-stack

Open-weight, plus published inference code, training code, and training recipe, and at least documented training-data composition.

How tiers are computed

Public materials checklist

Items for a model under USASI rubric v0.2. Unknown means unassessed or insufficient evidence.
Public materials checklist for Olmo 3 7B Instruct
ItemStatusNotes and evidence
WeightsCan the general public download the model parameters for this release?PublicFinal weights and post-training checkpoints (step revisions) are published on Hugging Face.1
Inference codeIs code for running the model published?PublicThe model card documents inference with Hugging Face Transformers and vLLM; Ai2's documentation adds a vLLM function-calling example.113
Training codeIs the code used to train the model published?Publicopen-instruct publishes the Olmo 3 7B Instruct SFT, DPO, and RL scripts; its README states that SFT runs on OLMo-core and DPO and RL on open-instruct. Base-model training scripts are in OLMo-core.24
Training-data informationDoes the information cover provenance, scope, acquisition, selection, labeling, processing, and where data or alternatives can be obtained? Access alone does not establish completeness.PartialThe model card describes the SFT, DPO, and RLVR post-training stages and links the Dolci Instruct dataset for each; those dataset cards describe their composition and state that they were used for the Olmo 3 7B Instruct line. Pretraining data is linked from the Olmo 3 7B base model card. The card's stage descriptions name the Think datasets alongside the Instruct ones. This review confirms disclosure, not completeness across every provenance, acquisition, labeling and processing requirement.16789
Training-data accessCan the training data be obtained? This is independent of information completeness and reuse rights; original unshareable data need not be downloadable.UnknownNot assessed.
Complete training pipelineIs the complete base-training and preprocessing pipeline published, including configuration? Fine-tuning code or an inference SDK alone is insufficient.UnknownNot assessed.
Legacy data assessment (v0.1)Historical assessment combining download access and disclosure. Preserved for traceability; excluded from the v0.2 tier calculation. See the new separate assessments above.PartialThe Dolci post-training datasets are downloadable under ODC-BY, but the Dolma 3 Mix used to pretrain the underlying base model has some olmOCR science PDFs redacted after training, which its dataset card says affects reproducibility.6101
Training recipeAre the training configuration and procedure documented in enough detail to follow?PublicThe technical report describes the Instruct post-training pipeline, and the open-instruct README lists the scripts, commits, and experiment logs used for each stage.112
Evaluation materialsPublic = evaluation code or prompts that let others re-run the evaluations are published. Partial = results only.PublicThe model card publishes post-training evaluation results; OLMES documents commands for running the Olmo 3 evaluation suites.112

What it is useful for

Ai2 documents the Instruct models for general chat, instruction following, and function calling, including tool use through vLLM's olmo3 tool-call parser and use with MCP servers.131

Run and use notes

Documented facts only. No hardware or performance claims are made without a cited source and stated assumptions.
  • The model card documents inference with Hugging Face Transformers 4.57.0 or later and with vLLM, and recommends temperature 0.6 and top_p 0.95.1
  • Ai2's documentation gives a vLLM (0.11.1 or later) serving command with automatic tool choice and the olmo3 tool-call parser, which exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.13

Organization context

Provenance and derivatives

Fine-tuned by Ai2 from its own Olmo 3 7B base model (Olmo-3-1025-7B) through the Olmo-3-7B-Instruct-SFT and Olmo-3-7B-Instruct-DPO checkpoints, followed by RLVR on the Dolci Instruct RL data.16
