AWhat changed
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.
Scientific scope
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. 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.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof.
