RefinedWeb: scaled filtering and deduplication for web-only pretraining

Combined text extraction, document/line filtering and exact/fuzzy deduplication at web scale, releasing a600B-token extract and studying web-only language-model pretraining against curated-corpus baselines.

What is recorded here?

Combined text extraction, document/line filtering and exact/fuzzy deduplication at web scale, releasing a600B-token extract and studying web-only language-model pretraining against curated-corpus baselines.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

Five-trillion-token internal corpus differs from released600B-token extract. Controlled reported model comparisons do not prove curated non-web data is never useful or all downstream tasks improve. Distinct from Falcon model architecture; inherited extraction/MinHash methods retain credit.
