Hajishirzi helped build OLMo, a fully open language model released with its training data, code, checkpoints, and recipes[1], and Tulu, a project for improving pretrained models so they follow instructions and reason more effectively.[2] Together they give researchers unusually deep access to how capable language models are made.
