NSF and Nvidia award Ai2 $152M to support building an open AI ecosystem


Ai2 has been awarded a combined $152 million from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and NVIDIA as part of a jointly funded project to advance our research and develop truly open AI models and solutions that will accelerate scientific discovery.

“At Ai2, with our academic collaborators, we’re building an ecosystem where world-class models like OLMo and Molmo are powerful tools to augment the work of experts, but are also fully transparent, reproducible, and most importantly, available to all. Open development of AI is essential to scientific progress, national competitiveness, and global trust in AI-based solutions that will serve humanity. With this support, we’ll produce leading open multimodal models, resources, and tools that help ensure America’s leadership in AI, building on the strong foundation we set with OLMo and Molmo.
