Caitlin Wittlif

Caitlin Wittlif contributed communications support to Ai2's open-model work and coauthored its Molmo vision-language paper. The 2024 OLMo paper credits her with help on its website, design, communications, budgeting, and other project tasks; the OLMoE paper also thanks her among its supporters. She coauthored Molmo and PixMo, an open vision-language model family paired with new image-caption, image question-and-answer, and pointing datasets, and Ai2's public repository includes code and a citation naming her. By 2025, papers on OLMo 2 and olmOCR name her among Ai2 colleagues thanked for indirect project support, while the CVPR proceedings include her as a Molmo and PixMo coauthor.
