Google AI overviews now reach over 2B users worldwide. But how reliable are they on high stakes topics - for instance, pregnancy and baby care?

We have a new paper - led by Desheng Hu, now accepted at @icwsm.bsky.social - exploring that and finding many issues

Our Olmo 3 models are now available via API on
@openrouter.bsky.social. Try Olmo 3-Instruct (7B) for chat & tool use, and our reasoning models Olmo-3 Think (7B & 32B) for more complex problems.

We're hiring too!

Olmo 3 was our biggest effort yet, but we're still a small team (67 authors!) compared to a lot of the big labs, which means everyone (especially interns) gets to own a major piece of the Olmo puzzle

Olmo 3 is out! 🤩
I am particularly excited about Olmo 3 models' precise instruction following abilities and their good generalization performance on IFBench!
Lucky to have been a part of the Olmo journey for three iterations already.
Announcing Olmo 3, a leading fully open LM suite built for reasoning, chat, & tool use, and an open model flow—not just the final weights, but the entire training journey.
Best fully open 32B reasoning model & best 32B base model. 🧵

We present Olmo 3, our next family of fully open, leading language models.
This family of 7B and 32B models represents:

1. The best 32B base model.
2. The best 7B Western thinking & instruct models.
3. The first 32B (or larger) fully open reasoning model.

Interested in detecting influence operations on TikTok? Check this out👇 just accepted at ICWSM 2026 @icwsm.bsky.social 🚀🚀🚀
What does coordinated inauthentic behavior look like on TikTok?

We introduce a new framework for detecting coordination in video-first platforms, uncovering influence campaigns using synthetic voices, split-screen tactics, and cross-account duplication.

I'm leading a session with PhD students on developing elevator pitches for research. Does anyone have suggested readings, websites, or just general advice on the topic?

No one ever taught me how to do this and honestly I struggle with this skill. All suggestions welcome!

Ok y'all I'm throwing out a hot take on LLMs in Toronto in January:

"We’re Talking About the Wrong Error: Why Variance Matters More than Bias in AI"

Enough of the bias talk. LLMs are a completely different beast and our old frameworks are no longer useful.
