Olmo-3-7B-Instruct GGUF Models

Model Generation Details

This model was generated using llama.cpp at commit 028f93ef9.


Quantization Beyond the IMatrix

I've been experimenting with a new quantization approach that selectively elevates the precision of key layers beyond what the default IMatrix configuration provides.

In my testing, standard IMatrix quantization underperforms at lower bit depths, especially with Mixture of Experts (MoE) models. To address this, I'm using the --tensor-type option in llama.cpp to manually "bump" important layers to higher precision. You can see the implementation here:
👉 Layer bumping with llama.cpp

While this does increase model file size, it significantly improves precision for a given quantization level.

I'd love your feedback—have you tried this? How does it perform for you?

Model Card for Olmo 3 7B Instruct

We introduce Olmo 3, a new family of 7B and 32B models both Instruct and Think variants. Long chain-of-thought thinking improves reasoning tasks like math and coding.

Olmo is a series of Open language models designed to enable the science of language models. These models are pre-trained on the Dolma 3 dataset and post-trained on the Dolci datasets. We are releasing all code, checkpoints, logs (coming soon), and associated training details.

The core models released in this batch include the following:

Installation

Olmo 3 is supported in transformers 4.57.0 or higher:

pip install transformers>=4.57.0

Inference

You can use OLMo with the standard HuggingFace transformers library:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
olmo = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/Olmo-3-7B-Instruct")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("allenai/Olmo-3-7B-Instruct")
message = ["Who would win in a fight - a dinosaur or a cow named Moo Moo?"]
inputs = tokenizer(message, return_tensors='pt', return_token_type_ids=False)
# optional verifying cuda
# inputs = {k: v.to('cuda') for k,v in inputs.items()}
# olmo = olmo.to('cuda')
response = olmo.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=True, top_k=50, top_p=0.95)
print(tokenizer.batch_decode(response, skip_special_tokens=True)[0])
>> 'This is a fun and imaginative question! Let’s break it down...'

For faster performance, you can quantize the model using the following method:

AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/Olmo-3-7B-Instruct", 
    torch_dtype=torch.float16, 
    load_in_8bit=True)  # Requires bitsandbytes

The quantized model is more sensitive to data types and CUDA operations. To avoid potential issues, it's recommended to pass the inputs directly to CUDA using:

inputs.input_ids.to('cuda')

We have released checkpoints for these models. For post-training, the naming convention is step_XXXX.

To load a specific model revision with HuggingFace, simply add the argument revision:

olmo = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/Olmo-3-7B-Instruct", revision="step_300")

Or, you can access all the revisions for the models via the following code snippet:

from huggingface_hub import list_repo_refs
out = list_repo_refs("allenai/Olmo-3-7B-Instruct")
branches = [b.name for b in out.branches]

Model Details

Stage 1: SFT

Stage 2:DPO

Stage 3: RLVR

  • reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards on the Dolci-Think-RL-7B dataset. This dataset consits of math, code, instruction-following, and general chat queries.
  • Datasets: Dolci-Think-RL-7B, Dolci-Instruct-RL-7B

Inference & Recommended Settings

We evaluated our models on the following settings. We also recommend using them for generation:

  • temperature: 0.6
  • top_p: 0.95
  • max_tokens: 32768

transformers Example

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "allenai/Olmo-3-7B-Instruct"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    device_map="auto",
)

prompt = "Who would win in a fight - a dinosaur or a cow named MooMoo?"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(
    **inputs,
    temperature=0.6,
    top_p=0.95,
    max_new_tokens=32768,
)

print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

vllm Example

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

model_id = "allenai/Olmo-3-7B-Instruct"
llm = LLM(model=model_id)

sampling_params = SamplingParams(
    temperature=0.6,
    top_p=0.95,
    max_tokens=32768,
)

prompt = "Who would win in a fight - a dinosaur or a cow named MooMoo?"
outputs = llm.generate(prompt, sampling_params)
print(outputs[0].outputs[0].text)

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Like any base language model or fine-tuned model without safety filtering, these models can easily be prompted by users to generate harmful and sensitive content. Such content may also be produced unintentionally, especially in cases involving bias, so we recommend that users consider the risks when applying this technology. Additionally, many statements from OLMo or any LLM are often inaccurate, so facts should be verified.

🚀 If you find these models useful

Help me test my AI-Powered Quantum Network Monitor Assistant with quantum-ready security checks:

👉 Quantum Network Monitor

The full Open Source Code for the Quantum Network Monitor Service available at my github repos ( repos with NetworkMonitor in the name) : Source Code Quantum Network Monitor. You will also find the code I use to quantize the models if you want to do it yourself GGUFModelBuilder

💬 How to test:
Choose an AI assistant type:

  • TurboLLM (GPT-4.1-mini)
  • HugLLM (Hugginface Open-source models)
  • TestLLM (Experimental CPU-only)

What I’m Testing

I’m pushing the limits of small open-source models for AI network monitoring, specifically:

  • Function calling against live network services
  • How small can a model go while still handling:
    • Automated Nmap security scans
    • Quantum-readiness checks
    • Network Monitoring tasks

🟡 TestLLM – Current experimental model (llama.cpp on 2 CPU threads on huggingface docker space):

  • Zero-configuration setup
  • ⏳ 30s load time (slow inference but no API costs) . No token limited as the cost is low.
  • 🔧 Help wanted! If you’re into edge-device AI, let’s collaborate!

Other Assistants

🟢 TurboLLM – Uses gpt-4.1-mini :

  • **It performs very well but unfortunatly OpenAI charges per token. For this reason tokens usage is limited.
  • Create custom cmd processors to run .net code on Quantum Network Monitor Agents
  • Real-time network diagnostics and monitoring
  • Security Audits
  • Penetration testing (Nmap/Metasploit)

🔵 HugLLM – Latest Open-source models:

  • 🌐 Runs on Hugging Face Inference API. Performs pretty well using the lastest models hosted on Novita.

💡 Example commands you could test:

  1. "Give me info on my websites SSL certificate"
  2. "Check if my server is using quantum safe encyption for communication"
  3. "Run a comprehensive security audit on my server"
  4. '"Create a cmd processor to .. (what ever you want)" Note you need to install a Quantum Network Monitor Agent to run the .net code on. This is a very flexible and powerful feature. Use with caution!

Final Word

I fund the servers used to create these model files, run the Quantum Network Monitor service, and pay for inference from Novita and OpenAI—all out of my own pocket. All the code behind the model creation and the Quantum Network Monitor project is open source. Feel free to use whatever you find helpful.

If you appreciate the work, please consider buying me a coffee ☕. Your support helps cover service costs and allows me to raise token limits for everyone.

I'm also open to job opportunities or sponsorship.

Thank you! 😊
