Where it's used

Hugging Face does not say who downloads a model or with what. These are the proxies: API providers listing it, quantized builds, fine-tunes/adapters/merges, and Spaces that load it.

No API provider serves it, so its downloads are people running it themselves: 41 quantized builds and 86 Spaces.

Will it fit?

Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method

Fits a 16 GB card at INT4

About 4.4 GB at INT4, 8.8 GB at FP8, 18 GB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache.

The story so far

Weights, every dated article, and repo commits on one rail.

Coverage peaked at launch and is still arriving

Teal is the weights (2025-11-19), amber triangles are 9 dated articles (each links to it), grey ticks are repo commits.

What people built on it

435 derivatives on the Hub. Which build to run, by runtime: the most downloaded in each class.

Reproducing Olmo 3 7B Pre-training

developers.googleblog.com2026-09-29authorityHN 1 pts · 0 comments5,194 words

Google Cloud reproduced the Allen Institute for AI's Olmo 3 7B model using MaxText on TPUs, matching the original training loss curve and held-out metrics. The team converted the PyTorch architecture to JAX, implementing a reordered-norm block, QK-norm, and 3:1 sliding/global attention while catching a data-loader bug that caused memorization. The run tracked the full ~5.93T-token / 1.41M-step budget, sustaining 57.4% MFU on v5p devices during stage 2.written, reviewed, cited

The team lost three quarters of capacity mid-run but resumed on a quarter-sized slice with no recipe change.

Olmo 3: Charting a path through the model flow to lead open-source AI

allenai.org2025-11-20officialauthorityHN front pageabout the Olmo 3 familyHN 390 pts · 125 comments3,773 words

AllenAI released Olmo 3.1 Think 32B and Olmo 3.1 Instruct 32B, the most performant checkpoints to date. The Think variant extended the best reinforcement learning run with an additional 21 days on 224 GPUs, yielding improvements of 5+ points on AIME, 4+ points on ZebraLogic, 4+ points on IFEval, and 20+ points on IFBench. The Instruct variant applies the recipe behind Olmo 3 Instruct 7B to a larger model for chat and tool use.written, reviewed, cited

Olmo 3-Think (32B) narrows the gap to top open models while training on roughly 6x fewer tokens than competitors.
The model flow allows users to swap in domain-specific data during mid-training or adjust post-training for specific use cases.
Olmo 3-Base (32B) achieves competitive performance with Qwen 2.5 and Gemma 3 while maintaining full openness of weights and code.

NCP-ArchPreview: 8.9B latent LM matches OLMo-3-7B on 51% of tokens

arxiv.org2026-09-14authorityHN 2 pts · 0 comments436 words

NCP-ArchPreview is a latent-space language model that pushes autoregressive pretraining beyond standard next-token prediction by learning to predict discrete concepts spanning multiple tokens. The 8.9B parameter model trains on 5.73T tokens from the Dolma-3 dataset, consuming only 51.3% of total training tokens to match OLMo-3-7B's loss while outperforming it by 2.45 points on the downstream macro-average and 5.99 points on GSM8K. Updating just the 17M-parameter VQ module yields a novel, lightweight interface for domain adaptation.written, reviewed, cited

Olmo 3 is a fully open LLM

simonwillison.net2025-11-23authorityabout the Olmo 3 familyHN 5 pts · 2 comments1,220 words

Olmo 3 is a fully open LLM series from Ai2 that releases training data, processes, and checkpoints alongside model weights. The 32B-scale model is pretrained on a ~9.3-trillion-token corpus and trains on roughly 6x fewer tokens than competing models. During testing, the 32B Think model took 14 minutes 43 seconds to generate 8,437 tokens for a simple SVG request.written, reviewed, cited

The 7B Instruct model download size is 4.16GB.
OlmoTrace currently relies on phrase matching to find training documents.

Olmo 3: America's open reasoning models

interconnects.ai2025-11-20authorityabout the Olmo 3 familyHN 4 pts · 0 comments1,814 words

Olmo 3 introduces a new family of fully open language models available today, featuring 7B and 32B variants. This family represents the first 32B (or larger) fully open reasoning model and the best 7B Western-origin thinking and instruct models. The 32B Thinker scores get within 1-2 points overall with their respective Qwen3 8/32B models.written, reviewed, cited

Olmo 3 Instruct models represent the best 7B scale model from a Western or American company.
The 32B range is largely devoid of non-Qwen competition for reasoning models.
