About OLMoE: Open Mixture-of-Experts Language Models

OLMoE is a fully open, state-of-the-art language model that uses a sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture. The OLMoE-1B-7B model has 7 billion total parameters but activates only 1 billion per input token, achieving high efficiency. It was pretrained on 5 trillion tokens and further fine-tuned to create the OLMoE-1B-7B-Instruct variant. The model outperforms all available models with similar active parameters, including larger models like Llama2-13B-Chat and DeepSeekMoE-16B. The project is fully open-source, releasing model weights, training data, code, and training logs.
