We introduce Olmo 3, a family of state-of-the-art, fully-open language models at the 7B and 32B parameter scales. Olmo 3 model construction targets long-context reasoning, function calling, coding, instruction following, general chat, and knowledge recall. This release includes the entire model flow, i.e., the full lifecycle of the family of models, including every stage, checkpoint, data point, and dependency used to build it. Our flagship model, Olmo 3 Think 32B, is the strongest fully-open thinking model released to-date.

Persona vectors form within the first 0.22% of LLM pretraining and remain effective for steering post-trained models, with continued refinement and transfer to other models.
LLMs lack temporal awareness of medical knowledge, showing gradual performance decline on up-to-date facts, much lower accuracy on historical knowledge (25-54% relative), and inconsistent year-to-year predictions.
LLM popularity judgments align more closely with pretraining data exposure counts than with Wikipedia popularity, with stronger effects in pairwise comparisons and larger models.
LIFT is a learnability-informed SFT algorithm for diffusion LMs that aligns token difficulty with diffusion time steps, yielding up to 3x gains on AIME'24 and AIME'25 over standard SFT baselines.
MetaBackdoor shows that LLMs can be backdoored using positional triggers like sequence length, enabling stealthy activation on clean inputs to leak system prompts or trigger malicious behavior.
VPD frames language feedback learning as variational EM so the teacher policy refines itself via trust-region updates on outcomes while the student learns dense token distributions on its own rollouts, outperforming fixed-teacher baselines on reasoning and code tasks.
dGRPO merges outcome-based policy optimization with dense teacher guidance from on-policy distillation, yielding more stable long-context reasoning on the new LongBlocks synthetic dataset.
DOLORES, an agent using a formal language for meta-reasoning to construct adaptive scaffolds on the fly, outperforms prior scaffolding methods by 24.8% on average across four hard benchmarks and multiple model sizes.
AssayBench is a new gene-ranking benchmark for phenotypic CRISPR screens that shows zero-shot generalist LLMs outperform both biology-specific LLMs and trainable baselines on adjusted nDCG.
vOPD stabilizes on-policy distillation gradients by subtracting a closed-form per-token negative reverse KL baseline as a detached control variate, preserving unbiasedness while lowering variance and matching expensive full-vocabulary methods.
LaTER reduces LLM token usage 16-33% on reasoning benchmarks by exploring in latent space then switching to explicit CoT verification, with gains like 70% to 73.3% on AIME 2025 in the training-free version.
A new paired-prompt protocol reveals alignment-pipeline-specific heterogeneity in how open-weight LLMs respond to evaluation versus deployment framings.
Linear probes on LM hidden states detect grammaticality better than string probabilities, generalize to human benchmarks and other languages, and correlate weakly with likelihood.
Full development of 7B and 32B Olmo 3 models used 12.3 GWh datacenter energy and emitted 4,251 tCO2eq, with development overheads accounting for 82% of compute and reasoning models costing 17x more to post-train than instruction-tuned ones.
Abstract-CoT lets models reason with short discrete latent token sequences from a reserved vocabulary, using warm-up training and RL to match verbal CoT performance with up to 11.6x fewer tokens.
Mean-difference residual stream injections outperform personality prompting for OCEAN trait steering in most LLMs, with hybrids performing best and showing approximate linearity but non-human trait covariances.
CoDIT creates instruction-tuning datasets via contrastive decoding to isolate instruction-following capabilities, yielding models that outperform those trained on standard generated or public datasets.

MARS fine-tunes autoregressive models to predict multiple tokens per step via continued training on instruction data, achieving 1.5-1.7x throughput while matching baseline accuracy and supporting real-time speed adjustment.
DEONTICBENCH is a new benchmark of 6,232 deontic reasoning tasks from U.S. legal domains where frontier LLMs reach only ~45% accuracy and symbolic Prolog assistance plus RL training still fail to solve tasks reliably.
LLMs show scaling and training-dependent alignment with human brain responses in creativity-related networks during divergent thinking tasks, measured via RSA on fMRI data.
LLM-ODE integrates large language models into genetic programming to guide symbolic search for governing equations of dynamical systems, outperforming classical GP on 91 test cases in efficiency and solution quality.
