Nonprofit AI research institute Ai2 has released Olmo 2 1B, a 1-billion-parameter model beating Google, Meta, and Alibaba's similarly-sized models on benchmarks.
Olmo 2 1B is available on Hugging Face with code and data sets provided, making it accessible for developers even on lower-end hardware.
Small AI models like Olmo 2 1B are becoming popular due to their ability to run on modern laptops or mobile devices.
Although Ai2's Olmo 2 1B shows superior performance on benchmarks, it comes with risks of producing problematic outputs and inaccuracies, cautioning against commercial deployment.
