[New crazy blog post alert] We are releasing an extensive blog post on the science of creating high quality web-scale datasets, detailing all the steps and learnings that came in our recent 15 trillion tokens 🍷FineWeb release

Inspired by the distill.pub interactive graphics papers, we settled to write the most extensive, enjoyable and in-depth tech report we could draft on so prepare for a 45-mmin read with interactive graphics and all.

And it's not all, in this article we also introduce 📚FineWeb-Edu a filtered subset of Common Crawl with 1.3T tokens containing only web pages with very high educational content. Up to our knowledge, FineWeb-Edu out-performs all openly release web-scale datasets by a significant margin on knowledge- and reasoning-intensive benchmarks like MMLU, ARC, and OpenBookQA

We also make a number of surprising observations on the "quality" of the internet it-self which may challenge some of the general assumptions on web data (not saying more, I'll let you draw your conclusions ;)

Is is time for the open-source AI robots revolution 🚀?

With @haixuantao and @Leyo we’ve been playing with a low-cost DJI robot controlled by three local open-source AI models (Whisper, Idefics2, Parler-TTS - all Apache2) and orchestrated by Dora-cs.

Links to find all the hardware/software we used in the demo:
- robot control framework – dora-rs: https://github.com/dora-rs/dora
- speech-to-text model – whisper: openai/whisper-base
- vision-text model – Idefics2: HuggingFaceM4/idefics2-8b-AWQ
- text-to-speech model – ParlerTTS mini: parler-tts/parler_tts_mini_v0.1
- robot: https://dji.com/robomaster-s1
- code gist: https://gist.github.com/haixuanTao/860e1740245dc2c8dd85b496150a9320
- Larger codebase: dora-rs/dora-idefics2
- laptop/pc: any with a recent GPU card (our has a RTX 4090)

Enjoy!
