🎙️ Say hello to OLMoASR—our fully open, from-scratch speech-to-text (STT) model. Trained on a curated audio-text set, it boosts zero-shot ASR and now powers STT in the Ai2 Playground. 👇

Today we’re releasing agent-baselines, a suite of 22 classes of AI agents for science—including 9 open-source research-tuned agents like our state-of-the-art, benchmark-leading Asta v0. 🚀🔬 Part of our Asta ecosystem to advance scientific AI. 👇

As part of Asta, our initiative to accelerate science with trustworthy AI agents, we built AstaBench—the first comprehensive benchmark to compare them. ⚖️

Introducing Asta—our bold initiative to accelerate science with trustworthy, capable agents, benchmarks, & developer resources that bring clarity to the landscape of scientific AI + agents. 🧵

LLMs power research, decision‑making, and exploration—but most benchmarks don’t test how well they stitch together evidence across dozens (or hundreds) of sources. Meet MoNaCo, our new eval for question-answering cross‑source reasoning. 👇

With fresh support of $75M from NSF and $77M from NVIDIA, we’re set to scale our open model ecosystem, bolster the infrastructure behind it, and fast‑track reproducible AI research to unlock the next wave of scientific discovery. 💡

🤖✨ What if models that take action in the physical world could think through your instructions? Meet MolmoAct, our new fully open Action Reasoning Model (ARM) that does just that. 🧵

📝 olmOCR v0.2.1 has arrived with new models! Our open‑source OCR engine now reads tougher docs with greater precision—and it’s still 100 % open. 👇

✨some personal news ✨

Today we’re releasing a prototype of Genesys, an autonomous multi-agent LLM discovery system that aims to discover new types of language model architectures. We found Genesys can discover novel architectures competitive with the industry-standard transformer. 🧵

It's with sadness I'm announcing next week will be my last at TechCrunch. I've accepted a comms role — I'll reveal where soon — and will, at least for now, be hanging up my journalism hat. I'd like to thank my colleagues for all their support over the years — it's been a ride.
