# Finetune Allenai's Olmo 3 with Axolotl
[Olmo 3](https://huggingface.co/collections/allenai/olmo-3) are a family of 7B and 32B models open source models trained by The Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence.
This guide shows how to fine-tune it with Axolotl with multi-turn conversations and proper masking.
## Getting started
1. Install Axolotl following the [installation guide](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/installation.html).
2. Install [Cut Cross Entropy](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/custom_integrations.html#cut-cross-entropy) to reduce training VRAM usage.
3. Run the finetuning example:
```bash
axolotl train examples/olmo3/olmo3-7b-qlora.yaml
```
This uses about 11.3 GiB VRAM. Let us know how it goes. Happy finetuning! 🚀
### TIPS
- The example config can be re-used for Olmo and Olmo 2.
- You can run a full finetuning by removing the `adapter: qlora` and `load_in_4bit: true` from the config.
- Read more on how to load your own dataset at [docs](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/dataset_loading.html).
- The dataset format follows the OpenAI Messages format as seen [here](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/dataset-formats/conversation.html#chat_template).
