PROFILE

Allyson Ettinger

Worked on the allenai/olmo-cookbook repository to enhance the OLMo2 training pipeline by introducing a microannealing recipe for mid-training at scale, extending input context length, and updating training job configurations to support broader data sources and improved resource allocation. Leveraged YAML for configuration management, applying data engineering and machine learning operations skills to optimize training efficiency and enable longer-context reasoning tasks. Additionally, implemented a data source naming update to align configuration with current dataset usage, improving data provenance and reproducibility. The work focused on robust, traceable configuration changes that support stable deployments and facilitate collaboration within machine learning workflows.

July 2025: Delivered an essential data-source naming update for the OLMo training pipeline in the allenai/olmo-cookbook project. Updated the YAML configuration to replace the dataset source name from 'dclm' to 'web', ensuring the configuration matches the current data source usage. This change was implemented via a single commit, establishing clearer data provenance and improving the reliability of future training runs.

2025-06 monthly summary for allenai/olmo-cookbook: Delivered OLMo2 training pipeline enhancements including a microannealing recipe for mid-training at 10B tokens across web/code/reasoning datasets, extended input context with sequence_length 4096, updated training job configuration with a new workspace path and expanded data sources, and a budget realignment reallocating resources from ai2/oe-training to ai2/oe-base. The changes improve training efficiency, enable longer-context reasoning tasks, improve data coverage, and optimize resource planning. Demonstrated MLOps and config-management skills, solid commit-level traceability, and business value through faster iterations and cost transparency.
