U.S. and Nvidia Invest $152M in Open AI Models to Drive Scientific Breakthroughs
The United States is teaming up with Nvidia to develop a new generation of AI models aimed at accelerating scientific breakthroughs and strengthening the country’s leadership in AI research. The National Science Foundation (NSF) will invest $75 million in the Open Multimodal AI Infrastructure to Accelerate Science (OMAI) project, which is led by nonprofit research […]
Ai2’s MolmoAct Trains Robots to Think in 3D Before Acting in Reality
Ai2, or the Allen Institute for AI, is unveiling a new class of models designed to help robots move through the world with greater spatial awareness. Known as Action Reasoning Models (ARM), it’s billed as giving machines spatial awareness that text-based inputs alone can’t deliver. The first in this ARM family is MolmoAct, an open-source […]
Ai2 Brings OLMo, Molmo, and Tülu AI Models to Enterprise Teams with Cirrascale Deal
Non-profit AI lab Ai2 is partnering with infrastructure platform provider Cirrascale in a move to commercialize its open-source models. OLMo 2, Molmo, and Tülu 3 can now be run via API on Cirrascale’s Inference Platform, enabling companies to avoid the need to deploy the models themselves and the associated costs of in-house systems or expertise. […]
Ai2 Unveils the Tiniest OLMo 2 Model, Built for Local and Efficient AI Use
Nonprofit AI lab Ai2 has released a new variation of its open-source language model. Previously, OLMo 2 was available in three sizes—7B, 13B, and 32B—but now there’s a 1B version, the smallest member of the model family. The company claims it outperforms Google’s Gemma 3 1B and Meta’s Llama 3.2 1B. OLMo 2 came onto […]
Ai2’s OLMoTrace Tool Reveals the Origins of AI Model Training Data
Ai2 has launched a tool to help developers answer a critical question: Where do AI models get their data? Called OLMoTrace, it’s an open-source application offering fact-checking of information provided in prompt replies. This data traceability is vital for those interested in governance, regulation, and auditing. This feature is currently available on Ai2’s flagship model, […]
Google Cloud and Ai2 Invest $20M to Accelerate AI-Driven Cancer Research
Google Cloud and Ai2 have partnered with the Cancer AI Alliance, a coalition of leading research institutions and tech companies focused on using AI to combat cancer. The two companies announced they are investing $20 million to support the effort and provide access to needed technology to accelerate scientific discovery. “The Cancer AI Alliance represents […]
Ai2’s Tulu 3 405B Pushes Open-Weight AI Forward, Challenging DeepSeek, OpenAI Models
The nonprofit formerly known as the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence has released a much more considerable variation of its Tulu 3 model. In addition to the 8 billion and 70 billion parameter versions introduced in November 2024, there’s now a 405 billion option. Ai2 calls this iteration the “first application of fully open post-training […]
Ai2 Unveils OLMo 2, Calling It The Most Advanced Fully Open Language Model Yet
In February, Ai2 released OLMo, its “truly open-source” large language model, as a suitable alternative to closed and restrictive models. Nine months later, the nonprofit research institute introduced its successor, OLMo 2, describing it as the “best fully open language model to date” comparable to Meta’s Llama 3.1. This family features two variations: a 7B […]
Ai2 Releases Tulu 3 to Unlock the Open-Source Post-Training Black Box
Ai2 has introduced an addition to its Tulu suite of models to level the playing field between open-source and proprietary closed models in post-training performance. Coming nearly a year after its predecessor, Tulu 3 aims to help models avoid forgetting core skills when undergoing specialized training, such as following instructions, coding, doing math, having knowledge […]
