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
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 |
