Ai2 is a research institute conducting high-impact AI research and engineering to tackle key problems in artificial intelligence. Founded by Paul Allen and led by Ali Farhadi, it emphasizes truly open AI through initiatives like open models, open coding agents, and collaborative principles. Key projects include Olmo, described as the truly open LLM, which empowers researchers and developers to advance language model science. Open Coding Agents represent the first open coding models, offering fast, accessible agents that adapt to any repository, including private codebases. The institute advances AI for science with Asta, an agentic ecosystem uniting agents for complex research tasks, rigorous benchmarks like AstaBench, and resources for building and testing. AI for the planet applies research to planetary challenges such as climate science, agriculture, food security, wildfire management, and wildlife protection. AI for robotics focuses on embodied AI, developing intelligent robots trained in advanced simulations for routine tasks and daily life improvement. Additional areas include open models like Tülu 3, Molmo, language and multimodal models, evaluation frameworks, and open data. Ai2 promotes research principles centered on openness, collaboration, and inclusivity to create safe, ethical AI systems. Partnerships, such as with the University of Washington, amplify impact in foundational and applied research.
