                large-scale, comprehensive, and fully transparent
                dataset designed for Large Language Model (LLM)
                pre-training. TxT360 is engineered to strike a
                balance between the quantity and quality of
                pre-training data, pushing the limit on both
                fronts. This comprehensive dataset encompasses both
                expansive web-based data and highly curated data
                sources, making it one of the most robust LLM
                pre-training corpora available today.  Our web data
                component includes 99 snapshots from Common Crawl,
                amassing 5.7 trillion tokens and occupying 11 TB of
                disk space in jsonl.gz format. On the curated side,
                TxT360 integrates one of the most extensive
                collections of high-quality sources across multiple
                domains, ensuring diverse and rich content referred
                to as curated sources, 14 sources across 10
                domains.  To maintain the highest quality, we
                meticulously pre-processed the web data to filter
                out low-quality content and conducted thorough
                reviews of the curated sources. This process not
                only unified their formats but also identified and
                rectified any anomalies. Not only do we 100%
                open-source our processing scripts, but we also
                release the details of our data reviews, revealing
                the decision-making processes behind data selection
                and quality assurance.  This level of transparency
                allows researchers and practitioners to fully
                understand the dataset’s composition and make
                informed decisions when using TxT360 for training.
                Additionally, TxT360 includes detailed
                documentation and analysis of the data, covering
                distribution statistics, domain coverage, and
                processing pipeline, which helps users navigate and
                utilize the dataset effectively.  Overall, TxT360
                represents a significant step forward in the
                availability and transparency of large-scale
                training data for language models, setting a new
                standard for dataset quality and openness.""")

                """ The quality and size of a pre-training dataset
                    play a crucial role in the performance of large
                    language models (LLMs). The community has
                    introduced a variety of datasets for this purpose,
                    including purely web-based datasets like RefinedWeb
                    [1], RedPajama-Data-V2 [2], DCLM [3], and
                    FineWeb [4], as well as comprehensive datasets
                    derived from multiple highly-curated data sources
                    such as The Pile [5], RedPajama-Data-V1 [6], and
                    Dolma [7] . It is commonly known that web-based
                    datasets provide a vast quantity of data, while
                    highly-curated multi-source datasets consistently
                    deliver high quality and diversity, both critical
                    for effective LLM pre-training.  However, despite
                    the advancements in both types of data, each type
                    of dataset has its limitations. For instance, the
                    processing scripts for the web dataset, RefinedWeb,
                    known for its high quality, are not public, and
                    only about 10% of the entire dataset has been
                    disclosed. Conversely, the web component of
                    existing highly-curated multi-source datasets is
                    relatively small compared to purely web-based
                    datasets, limiting their coverage and diversity
                    compared to the scale of information from the
                    internet.  By integrating the extensive reach of
                    web data with the exceptional quality of curated
                    sources, TxT360 is crafted to meet and surpass the
                    rigorous standards required for state-of-the-art

                    large-scale (15-trillion tokens, 44TB disk space)
                    dataset for LLM pretraining. FineWeb is derived
                    from 96 CommonCrawl snapshots and produces
                    better-performing LLMs than other open pretraining
                    datasets. To bring more clarity in machine learning
                    and advance the open understanding of how to train
                    good quality large language models, we carefully
                    documented and ablated all of the design choices
                    used in FineWeb, including in-depth investigations
                    of deduplication and filtering strategies. The
                    present long form report is a deep dive in how to
                    create a large and high-quality web-scale dataset
                    for LLM pretraining. The dataset itself, 🍷
                    FineWeb, is available here.  We are extremely
                    thankful to the whole distill.pub team (Christopher
                    Olah, Shan Carter, Ludwig Schubert in particular)
                    for creating the template on which we based this
                    blog post. Thanks also for inspiring us with
                    exquisitely crafted articles and blog posts.  In
                    this report we also introduce 📚 FineWeb-Edu, a
                    subset of FineWeb constructed using scalable
                    automated high-quality annotations for educational
                    value, and which outperforms all openly accessible
                    web-datasets on a number of educational benchmarks
                    such as MMLU, ARC, and OpenBookQA. 📚 FineWeb-Edu
                    is available in two sizes/filtering-level: 1.3
                    trillion (very high educational content) and 5.4
                    trillion (high educational content) tokens (all
                    tokens are measured with GPT2 tokenizer). You can
                    download it here.  Both datasets are released under

Recent studies have highlighted the potential drawbacks of oversampling specific data points, which can negatively impact pretraining performance [2205.10487]. However, when samples are repeated appropriately, the performance can actually improve [2306.01116, 2305.16264, 2406.11794, FineWeb]. Despite this, there is currently no widely accepted best practice for data sampling, and it’s unlikely that a one-size-fits-all approach will emerge given the scale of these datasets. Previous work either leaves the deduplication process to the user (as seen in RedPajama V2 and DCLM-Pool) or provides a corpus that has been downsampled in a specific manner (such as in FineWeb and RefinedWeb)."),

Additionally, TxT360 maintains detailed metadata for each sample, including the frequency and location of duplicates. This metadata gives pretrainers the flexibility to adjust the weight of samples as needed. In principle, one can recover the original dataset distribution (footnote: this approach also means a smaller size on disk). We will demonstrate a simple upsampling strategy that results in an effective pretraining dataset. "),
