+
+## What is it?
+
+The π· FineWeb dataset consists of more than **15T tokens** of cleaned and deduplicated english web data from CommonCrawl. The data processing pipeline is optimized for LLM performance and ran on the π [`datatrove`](https://github.com/huggingface/datatrove/) library, our large scale data processing library.
+
+π· FineWeb was originally meant to be a fully open replication of π¦
[RefinedWeb](https://huggingface.co/papers/2306.01116), with a release of the **full dataset** under the **ODC-By 1.0 license**. However, by carefully adding additional filtering steps, we managed to push the performance of π· FineWeb well above that of the original π¦
RefinedWeb, and models trained on our dataset also outperform models trained on other commonly used high quality web datasets (like C4, Dolma-v1.6, The Pile, SlimPajama, RedPajam2) on our aggregate group of [benchmark tasks](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/blob/main/lighteval_tasks.py).
+
+That said, we think there is still room for additional filtering and improvement and intend to continue exploring how to improve the dataset quality in coming versions of π· FineWeb.
+
+## What is being released?
+
+Along with the dataset, which includes all CommonCrawl dumps since 2013, we also share all the code needed to fully reproduce our processing setup using the π [`datatrove`](https://github.com/huggingface/datatrove/) library [here](https://github.com/huggingface/datatrove/blob/main/examples/fineweb.py). To enable full replication of our results, we have also published the small ablation models we have trained using [`nanotron`](https://github.com/huggingface/nanotron/) to validate the dataset and compare it with other reference datasets. You will find them [here](https://huggingface.co/collections/HuggingFaceFW/ablation-models-662457b0d213e8c14fe47f32), with checkpoints every 1000 steps. We have also published our evaluation results [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/blob/main/eval_results.csv). Our evaluation setup is available [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/blob/main/lighteval_tasks.py).
+
+You will find details on the different processing decisions we took and some interesting explorations of deduplication methods on our [blogpost](https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceFW/blogpost-fineweb-v1).
+
+## Changelog
+_Previous versions remain available in the branch `version name`._
+
+- **v1.1.0 (31-05-2024):** We reprocessed and reuploaded 11 dumps, `CC-MAIN-2021-49` to `CC-MAIN-2023-40`, as we found a bug on their deduplication. We also added the most recent dump: `CC-MAIN-2024-18`, crawled over April 2024. Expect a small perf improvement
+- **v1.0.0 (21-04-2024):** Initial version
+
+## How to download and use π· FineWeb
+
+You can load the full dataset or a specific crawl/dump (see table below). Dumps have the format `CC-MAIN-(year)-(week number)`.
+
+### (Smaller) sample versions
+Along with config `default` (all the data), and the configs for each individual dump, you can also download the following configs:
+- `sample-350BT`: a subset randomly sampled from the whole dataset of around 350B gpt2 tokens (388GB)
+- `sample-100BT`: a subset randomly sampled from the whole dataset of around 100B gpt2 tokens (277.4GB)
+- `sample-10BT`: a subset randomly sampled from the whole dataset of around 10B gpt2 tokens (27.6GB)
+
+`sample-10B` was sampled from `sample-100B` which in turn was sampled from `sample-350BT`.
+
+### Using π [`datatrove`](https://github.com/huggingface/datatrove/)
+
+```python
+from datatrove.pipeline.readers import ParquetReader
+
+# limit determines how many documents will be streamed (remove for all)
+# to fetch a specific dump: hf://datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/data/CC-MAIN-2024-10
+# replace "data" with "sample/100BT" to use the 100BT sample
+data_reader = ParquetReader("hf://datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/data", limit=1000)

+## Dataset performance evaluation and ablations
+
+We conducted our dataset performance ablations and evaluations by training a series of 1.8B parameters models on 27 billion tokens. To compare π· FineWeb with other datasets, we also trained one of these 1.8B models per target dataset, on 350 billion tokens sampled from it (or the entire dataset when its size was < 350 billion tokens).
+
+### Hyper-parameters for ablation models
+
+The detailed configurations for training the 1.8B parameters ablation model can be found here (link will be added soon).
+
+### Ablation evaluation benchmarks
+
+To conduct the ablations for each of our dataset filtering choices, we selected a set of benchmarks which we identified as βhigh-signalβ benchmarks. These benchmarks were selected according to the following criteria:
+
+- small variance between runs trained on different samplings of the same dataset
+- performance increasing monotically during training (or close)
+- separation between runs on datasets of known quality (C4, The Pile, RedPajama) higher than the variance between runs with various modeling/data seeds
+
+We used the following list of benchmark for our ablation runs:
+
+- commonsense_qa (acc_norm)
+- hellaswag (acc/acc_norm)
+- openbookqa (acc/acc_norm)
+- piqa (acc/acc_norm)
+- siqa (acc/acc_norm)
+- winogrande (acc/acc_norm)
+- sciq (acc/acc_norm)
+- arc (acc/acc_norm)
+- mmlu (acc/acc_norm)
+
+To compare runs we consider an aggregate score, the average of the scores for these tasks.
+
+The prompts for all these benchmarks are formatted in order to compute and compare the log-likelihood of the full answers for each multiple choice question. All the implementation details for the benchmarks are available in `lighteval` [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/blob/main/lighteval_tasks.py).
+
+### Comparison with other datasets
+
+We compared π· FineWeb with the following datasets:
+
+- [RefinedWeb](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tiiuae/falcon-refinedweb)
+- [C4](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/c4)
+- [Dolma v1.6](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/dolma) (the CommonCrawl part)
+- [The Pile](https://huggingface.co/datasets/EleutherAI/pile)
+- [SlimPajama](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cerebras/SlimPajama-627B)
+- [RedPajama2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/togethercomputer/RedPajama-Data-V2) (deduplicated)
+
+You will find these models on [this collection](https://huggingface.co/collections/HuggingFaceFW/ablation-models-662457b0d213e8c14fe47f32). We have uploaded checkpoints at every 1000 training steps. You will also find our full [evaluation results here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/blob/main/eval_results.csv).

+
+### Dataset Summary
+
+This dataset was created by processing 96 [CommonCrawl](https://commoncrawl.org/) dumps comprising web data crawled from the summer of 2013 to April of 2024. π· FineWeb includes a variety of domains and topics in English and is primarily intended to be used as a research artifact on public data in the context of pretraining dataset for large language models. The CommonCrawl data was carefully processed, filtered and deduplicated with the π [`datatrove`](https://github.com/huggingface/datatrove/) library, resulting in the largest publicly available clean LLM pretraining dataset, counting around 15 trillion tokens (gpt2 tokenizer).
+
+## Dataset Structure
+
+### Data Instances
+
+The following is an example sample from the dataset. It is part of the `CC-MAIN-2021-43` and was crawled on `2021-10-15T21:20:12Z`.
+
+```json
+{
+ "text": "This is basically a peanut flavoured cream thickened with egg yolks and then set into a ramekin on top of some jam. Tony, one of the Wedgwood chefs, suggested sprinkling on some toasted crushed peanuts at the end to create extra crunch, which I thought was a great idea. The result is excellent.",
+ "id": "",
+ "dump": "CC-MAIN-2021-43",
+ "url": "",

+```
+
+### Data Fields
+
+- `text` (string): the main text content
+- `id` (string): original unique identifier for this sample from CommonCrawl
+- `dump` (string): the CommonCrawl dump this sample was a part of
+- `url` (string): url to the original page where `text` was present
+- `date` (string): crawl date (from CommonCrawl)
+- `file_path` (string): s3 path for the individual CommonCrawl warc file containing this sample
