Our world changed with LLM / AI chatbots, which must be assessed for reliability. I evaluate LLM in part by asking them about known content (me!).

In today's news Olmo 3 (Allen AI) is an epic fail on my self-test.

Aside: another chatbot I recently tested was initally dead-on viz-a-viz me BUT (exhausted of facts) w/o warning BADLY hallucinated when pressed for additional detail, fabricating false content.
Better models (Claude ...) will admit no new data and stop.

The #AllenInstitute for AI (#Ai2) released #Olmo3, a collection of #openlanguage models designed to compete with industry leaders. Olmo 3 outperforms fully open models like #Stanford’s #Marin and commercial open-weight models like #Meta’s #Llama3.1, offering improved performance, efficiency, and transparency. https://www.geekwire.com/2025/ai2-releases-olmo-3-open-models-rivaling-meta-deepseek-and-others-on-performance-and-efficiency/?AIagents.at #AIagent #AI #ML #NLP #LLM #GenAI
Ai2 releases Olmo 3 open models, rivaling Meta, DeepSeek and others on performance and efficiency

The Allen Institute for AI (Ai2) unveiled Olmo 3, a new generation of open language models that it says outperforms rivals while using far less computing and offering more transparency.

Here is puzzle for the reader. I generated a deep research report using AI2's Asta tool. The prompt I used can be seen on the left side in the weblink below. The generated report used 0 cited references. The puzzle question is why was the entire report generated by "LLM Memory" instead of citing any references? I think this case illustrates something interesting about the behavior of some deep research tools.

A New Perspective from Space: How Galileo is Advancing NASA Harvest’s Mission to Safeguard Our Planet — NASA Harvest

Have you ever thought about how scientists keep track of what is happening all over the Earth? Thanks to satellites orbiting high above us, we have eyes in the sky that capture vast amounts of information every day. These satellites monitor everything from sprawling forests and melting glaciers to t

🚀 #NSF and #NVIDIA just handed #Ai2 a mountain of cash 💰 to build an "open AI #ecosystem," whatever that means. Meanwhile, the rest of us are still trying to figure out how to open a PDF. 😅 Looks like AI is going green 🌍, because it’s sure as hell not going open source.
