OLMoE: Open Mixture-of-Experts Language Models

We introduce OLMOE, 1 a fully open, state-of-the-art language model leveraging sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE). OLMOE-1B-7B has 7 billion (B) parameters but uses only 1B per input token. We pretrain it on 5 trillion tokens and further adapt it to create OLMOE-1B-7B-INSTRUCT. Our models outperform all available models with similar active parameters, even surpassing larger ones like Llama2-13B-Chat and DeepSeekMoE-16B. We present various experiments on MoE training, analyze routing in our model showing high specialization, and open-source all aspects of our work: model weights, training data, code, and logs.
