AI2 has updated OLMo-2 to roughly Llama 3.1 8B equivalent, training with 5T tokens and using learning rate annealing and new high-quality data (Dolmino). They credit Tülu 3 and its "Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards" approach. On Reddit, Qwen2.5-72B instruct model shows near lossless performance with AutoRound 4-bit quantization, available on HuggingFace in 4-bit and 2-bit versions, with discussions on MMLU benchmark and quantization-aware training. HuggingFace released SmolVLM, a 2B parameter vision-language model running efficiently on consumer GPUs, supporting fine-tuning on Google Colab and demonstrating strong OCR capabilities with adjustable resolution and quantization options.
