+OLMo is a repository for training and using state-of-the-art open language models. 
+It is built by scientists, for scientists.
 
 ## Installation

 pip install ai2-olmo

+## Models overview
+
+The core models in the OLMo family released so far are (all trained on the [Dolma dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/dolma)): 
+| Model | Training Tokens | Context Length |
+|------|--------|---------|
+| [OLMo 1B](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-1B)   | 3 Trillion | 2048  |
+| [OLMo 7B](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-7B) | 2.5 Trillion   |  2048  |

 ## Fine-tuning
 
 To fine-tune an OLMo model using our trainer you'll first need to prepare your dataset by tokenizing it and saving the tokens IDs to a flat numpy memory-mapped array. See [`scripts/prepare_tulu_data.py`](./scripts/prepare_tulu_data.py) for an example with the Tulu V2 dataset, which can be easily modified for other datasets.

 Note: passing CLI overrides like `--reset_trainer_state` is only necessary if you didn't update those fields in your config.
