How Domyn and AISquared built on Ai2's open releases

Allen Institute (AI2) · 4 months ago · 26

Domyn and AISquared, two AI labs serving regulated industries, built commercial models by fine-tuning Ai2's open-source releases: AISquared created Bolt from Olmo for enterprise workflows, while Domyn built a reasoning model using Dolma and Dolci datasets. AISquared's Bolt Instruct comes in sizes of 1B, 7B, and 32B parameters, with customers reporting roughly 50% reductions in infrastructure costs. The full transparency and documented provenance of Ai2's open artifacts—including training data, code, and architectural details—enabled both companies to meet compliance requirements for regulated sectors like finance and government, making open-source alternatives viable for customers with strict auditability constraints.
