It was no mean feat to deduplicate data on this scale – existing tools does not scale to a trillion tokens. We built a custom parallel data pre-processing pipeline and are sharing the code open source with the community.

SlimPajama: 50% Smaller, Twice Faster LLM Training Dataset
By
–
SlimPajama cleans and deduplicates RedPajama-1T, reducing the total token count and file size by 50%. It's half the size and trains twice as fast! It’s the highest quality dataset when training to 600B tokens and when upsampled performs equal or better than RedPajama.

SlimPajama: High-Quality Dataset Reduces Duplicates Training
By
–
RedPajama-1T is the largest open dataset today but contains a large percentage of duplicates, making a full training run costly and inefficient. Like the Falcon team, we found data quality is just as important as quantity – which led to SlimPajama.
