Quality is the published perplexity delta against f16 weights. Max context assumes an f16 KV cache; q8_0 roughly doubles it. This model interleaves sliding-window layers (4096 tokens, 8 of 32 layers global), which is why its cache barely grows with context.
How to run it
$ ollama pull olmo-3:7b $ OLLAMA_CONTEXT_LENGTH=8192 \ ollama run olmo-3:7b
The default. One binary, a model registry, an OpenAI-compatible port. More on Ollama.
