[New crazy blog post alert] We are releasing an extensive blog post on the science of creating high quality web-scale datasets, detailing all the steps and learnings that came in our recent 15 trillion tokens 🍷FineWeb release

Inspired by the distill.pub interactive graphics papers, we settled to write the most extensive, enjoyable and in-depth tech report we could draft on so prepare for a 45-mmin read with interactive graphics and all.

And it's not all, in this article we also introduce 📚FineWeb-Edu a filtered subset of Common Crawl with 1.3T tokens containing only web pages with very high educational content. Up to our knowledge, FineWeb-Edu out-performs all openly release web-scale datasets by a significant margin on knowledge- and reasoning-intensive benchmarks like MMLU, ARC, and OpenBookQA

We also make a number of surprising observations on the "quality" of the internet it-self which may challenge some of the general assumptions on web data (not saying more, I'll let you draw your conclusions ;)
