Ethics Statement

  1. How do OLMo’s authors justify releasing everything openly despite risks?
    Openness is essential for scientific understanding and broad participation; others can build on the model instead of retraining (saving compute and emissions); research into harms is accelerated by openness; and comparable models were already permissively licensed, so a stricter license wouldn’t remove the risk.
