- Recent works find significant duplicate data present in the Pile. Eleuther’s Pythia applies a deduplication process to reduce replicated data, decreasing the total token count by 33%. Our models are trained on the Pile **without deduplication**, which presents an opportunity for further improvement with the deduplicated data set.

+ Recent works find significant duplicate data present in the Pile. Eleuther’s Pythia applies a deduplication process to reduce replicated data, decreasing the Pile dataset size. Pythia was trained on both the standard dataset and deduplicated dataset to characterize the impact. Our models are trained on the standard Pile without deduplication, which may present an opportunity for further improvement with the deduplicated data set.
