Ai2 releases new language models competitive with Meta’s Llama
There's a new AI model family on the block, and it's one of the few that can be reproduced from scratch.
Ai2 releases OLMo 2, the second family of models in its OLMo series, which meet the Open Source Initiative's definition of open source AI.
Ai2 claims the OLMo 2 models are competitive, performance-wise, with open models like Meta's Llama 3.1 release.
Ai2 believes the benefits of open source AI models ultimately outweigh the potential harms of inappropriate use.
