What is AMD-OLMo?
AMD-OLMo is a series of 1B parameter language models developed by AMD, trained from scratch on AMD Instinct™ MI250 GPUs. The model comes in three variants: a base pre-trained model, a supervised fine-tuned (SFT) version, and a DPO-aligned model optimized for human preferences. Built on the OLMo architecture, it achieves impressive performance across various benchmarks while maintaining computational efficiency.
Implementation Details
The model architecture consists of 16 layers with 16 attention heads and a hidden size of 2048. Training was performed across 16 nodes, each containing 4 AMD Instinct™ MI250 GPUs, achieving a training throughput of 12,200 tokens/sec/gpu. The model uses a vocabulary size of 50,280 tokens and implements different learning rate schedules for various training phases.
- Pretraining: Cosine LR schedule with 4.0e-4 peak LR
- SFT: Two-phase training on multiple instruction datasets
- DPO: Alignment using UltraFeedback dataset
Core Capabilities
