Dataset and Open-Stack Reference

Last reviewed: 2026-07-12

This is the compact link index for the data chapters. Sizes are publisher-reported and are not normalized across tokenizers. Access, cards and terms can change; pin an immutable revision at the start of an experiment.

Legend

  • Direct: ordinary files are publicly reachable.
  • Stream: the publisher documents bounded/streaming access.
  • Gated: sign-in or terms acceptance is required.
  • IDs: repository contains identifiers/metadata; content access is separate.
  • Historical: official reconstruction artifacts exist, but original complete hosting or components are brittle.

“Terms” names only the headline database/access layer. It is not a conclusion about every contained work.

Bounded access recipes

Metadata only

from huggingface_hub import HfApi

info = HfApi().dataset_info("HuggingFaceFW/fineweb", files_metadata=False)
print(info.id, info.sha, info.card_data.get("license"))

FineWeb sample

from datasets import load_dataset

rows = load_dataset(
    "HuggingFaceFW/fineweb",
    "sample-10BT",
    split="train",
    streaming=True,
)
for row in rows.take(3):
    print(row["id"], row["url"])

RefinedWeb

from datasets import load_dataset

rows = load_dataset("tiiuae/falcon-refinedweb", split="train", streaming=True)
for row in rows.take(3):
    print(row["url"], row["dump"])

SlimPajama validation

from datasets import load_dataset

rows = load_dataset(
    "cerebras/SlimPajama-627B", split="validation", streaming=True
)
for row in rows.take(3):
    print(row["meta"]["redpajama_set_name"])

RedPajama v2 small sample

from datasets import load_dataset

# Custom loader: inspect and pin its revision before execution.
sample = load_dataset("togethercomputer/RedPajama-Data-V2", name="sample")
print(sample)

Gated data

After reviewing/accepting the applicable terms and authenticating:

from datasets import load_dataset

culturax = load_dataset(
    "uonlp/CulturaX", "en", split="train", streaming=True, token=True
)

stack_ids = load_dataset(
    "bigcode/the-stack-v2", "Python", split="train", streaming=True, token=True
)

Never turn a metadata probe into an unbounded list(dataset) call.

Projects with substantial end-to-end artifact trails

Project Data Training/data code Intermediate artifacts Evaluation/logs Key caveat
OLMo 3 Dolma 3 mixes + Dolci post-training data OLMo-core, Open Instruct Model-card revisions and checkpoint manifests OLMES, linked W&B reports Large compute; 7B data card documents post-run redactions; some reconstruction paths are internal
OLMo 2 OLMo mix / Dolmino links OLMo repository; 32B in OLMo-core Frequent checkpoints Evaluation code/log links in project Original repository now directs current work to OLMo-core
Pythia Pile and pretokenized ordered data GPT-NeoX, exact configs 154 checkpoints per main run; optimizer states for selected points project/paper artifacts Inherits Pile component issues; read documented initialization and naming errata
Amber AmberDatasets, full sequence training source, data prep 360 checkpoints Linked W&B logs/evals Upstream data rights remain source-specific
BLOOM ROOTS components 176B run repository, Megatron-DeepSpeed fork intermediate checkpoints Training logs and chronicles linked by model card BigScience BLOOM RAIL model license; heterogeneous ROOTS terms
OpenLLaMA RedPajama v1 or v2-specific mixed sources EasyLM + project instructions Several published progress checkpoints Evaluation tables in repository Less complete ordered-data/log/optimizer trail than OLMo/Pythia/Amber; v1/v2 differ
RedPajama-INCITE 7B RedPajama-Data-1T Model card documents trainer/hardware configuration 11 checkpoints from 240B to 1T tokens Benchmark links in card Not a complete exact replay bundle

Terminology guardrails

Phrase Use it only when…
Open weights parameters are downloadable under stated terms; says nothing by itself about data/training code
Open training code actual trainer and exact configuration are available under an open-source license
Open data data can be used, modified and reshared under applicable open terms; public visibility alone is insufficient
Public data people can inspect/obtain it while it remains available; redistribution rights may be unclear or restricted
Fully reproducible exact inputs/order, code/environment, randomness, hardware-relevant settings and compute are sufficient and replay has been demonstrated
Reproducible recipe enough instructions/code exist to build a similar system; no claim of identical weights
Fully open accompanied by an explicit checklist for data information, code, parameters, intermediate artifacts and terms
