MolmoWeb-8B
Important Update! We made a few small but important updates to this HF/transformers-compatible checkpoint to ensure exact outputs to our native model checkpoint on March 29, 2026 ~6PM PST. If you downloaded this model checkpoint earlier than this time, we recommend re-downloading it. See PRs 2 and 3 for more details. Thanks for your understanding!
MolmoWeb is a family of fully open multimodal web agents. MolmoWeb agents achieve state-of-the-art results outperforming similar scale open-weight-only models such as Fara-7B, UI-Tars-1.5-7B, and Holo1-7B. MolmoWeb-8B also surpasses set-of-marks (SoM) agents built on much larger closed frontier models like GPT-4o. We further demonstrate consistent gains through test-time scaling via parallel rollouts with best-of-N selection, achieving 94.7% and 60.5% pass@4 (compared to 78.2% and 35.3% pass@1)on WebVoyager and Online-Mind2Web respectively.
Learn more about the MolmoWeb family in our announcement blog post and tech report.
MolmoWeb-8B is based on Molmo2 architecture, which uses Qwen3-8B and SigLIP 2 as vision backbone.
Ai2 is committed to open science. The MolmoWeb datasets are available here. All other artifacts used in creating MolmoWeb (training code, evaluations, intermediate checkpoints) will be made available, furthering our commitment to open-source AI development and reproducibility.
