| # cortex-20b | |
| A 20 B-token (100 B-character), cap-balanced English/Japanese | |
| pretraining mixture assembled for general-purpose language model | |
| training. Release tag `v0.9` (mixture build `balanced-pretraining-v8`, | |
| finalized 2026-09-15). | |
| The dataset is partitioned into three splits (`train`, `validation`, | |
| `test`) and stores 22.4 M text records on disk in zstd-compressed | |
| Parquet. The source stream spans web text, encyclopedias, news, | |
| public-domain books, academic articles, patents, court documents, code, | |
| Reddit submissions, Japanese web fiction, dialogue/game transcripts, | |
| and OpenStreetMap/Overture spatial data. | |
| ## At a glance | |
| | Split | Records | Characters (text) | Bytes (raw JSONL) | Parquet shards | | |
| | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | | |
| | `train` | 22,426,697 | 96,963,026,897 | 127,541,814,421 (127 GB) | 113 × ~400 MB | | |
| | `validation` | 17,087 | 124,708,316 | 145,751,270 (140 MB) | 1 | | |
| | `test` | 16,773 | 103,121,121 | 123,351,487 (118 MB) | 1 | | |
| | **Total** | **22,460,557** | **97,190,856,334** | **127,810,917,178** | **115** | | |
| Approximate tokens (4 chars/token heuristic): **24.3 B** — round-figure | |
| label `cortex-20b` is what the card sticks to; the heuristic | |
| under-counts multilingual content. | |
| ## Load | |
| ```python | |
| from datasets import load_dataset | |
| # Full mix (streaming-friendly, 22.4 M rows). | |
| ds = load_dataset("m8than/cortex-20b", split="train") | |
| # Just validation / test. | |
| val = load_dataset("m8than/cortex-20b", split="validation") | |
| test = load_dataset("m8than/cortex-20b", split="test") | |
| # Or by category / source dataset: | |
| dclm = load_dataset("m8than/cortex-20b", split="train").filter( | |
| lambda r: "HuggingFaceTB/dclm-edu" in r["source"] | |
| ) | |
| # Streaming (recommended for the full train split): | |
| ds = load_dataset("m8than/cortex-20b", split="train", streaming=True) | |
| for row in ds: | |
| ... | |
| ``` | |
| Each row has the schema below: | |
| | Column | Type | Description | | |
| | --- | --- | --- | | |
| | `id` | `string` | Stable per-record id (preserved from upstream datasets where possible). | | |
| | `kind` | `string` | Always `"text"` for this release. | | |
| | `source` | `string` (JSON) | Upstream provenance block as JSON (dataset, license, URL, IDs, etc.). | | |
| | `quality` | `string` (JSON) | Quality/filtering metadata as JSON (version, tier, score, flags, metrics). | | |
| | `mixture` | `string` (JSON) | Per-record mixture-bucket info as JSON (input source, cap, license gate). | | |
| | `extra` | `string` (JSON) | Any record-level fields that don't fit the columns above (e.g. `legal_moves`, `action`, `messages`, `annotations`). Empty for most rows. | | |
| | `text` | `string` | The training text itself. | | |
| | `split_group` | `string` | Stable cross-split identity used for split construction (provenance key, family id, etc.). Rows lacking one are train-only. | | |
| ## Build summary | |
| - **Mixture version:** 8 (`mixture_config: data/config/mixture-v8.json`, | |
| sha256 `8554981b…51de96`). | |
| - **Release tag:** `v0.9` (mixture build is `balanced-pretraining-v8`). | |
| - **Seed:** `balanced-v8` (sampling), `balanced-v3-split` (splitting). | |
| - **Split ratios:** train 98 % / validation 1 % / test 1 %, split at the | |
| `source.split_group` level where one exists; otherwise train-only. | |
| - **Determinism:** exact text deduplication (142,339 dupes dropped) and | |
| deterministic per-bucket rank-based subsampling so the release is | |
| reproducible bit-for-bit given the same seed. | |
| - **Verification:** `python scripts/build_release.py --audit release-v8` | |
| confirms `malformed_records=0`, `cross_split_group_records=0`, | |
| `expected_split_mismatches=0`. | |

| ## License | |
| This dataset is released as a **mixture** under the [Open Data Commons | |
| Attribution License 1.0](https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/) (ODC-BY | |
| 1.0). Each individual record retains its upstream license — see the | |
| `source.license` field on every row and the rights review embedded in | |
| `auxiliary_metadata/manifest.json`. Applying this mixture to train a | |
| model requires that downstream use respects the most restrictive | |
| per-input license (in particular: NC clauses from TVTropes, research-use | |
| terms from Pushshift, per-file Stack v3 licenses). | |
| ## Rights review | |
| The full per-source rights review (date 2026-09-05) is included in | |
| `auxiliary_metadata/manifest.json` under `rights_review`. Highlights: | |
| - **Excluded**: `mastermind`, `europarl` (pending provenance), | |
| `wikimedical` (derivative of FineWiki), `terraria-wiki`, | |
| `minecraft-wiki` (NC on primary sources), `dnd-dm-v3` (no verifiable | |
| upstream). | |
| - **Per-paper allowlist**: arXiv only includes CC0/CC-BY/CC-BY-SA | |
| submissions; NC/ND/unknown were rejected before sampling (83,711 | |
| records / 31.6 B characters dropped). | |
| - **Pushshift/Reddit**: included under research license only. | |
| - **Steam reviews**: included under Steam/Valve terms. | |

| Parquet files are zstd-compressed, ~400 MB each (200,000 records per | |
| train shard). Load with `datasets.load_dataset(..., split="train")` or | |
| stream shard-by-shard via `streaming=True`. | |
| ## Provenance and reproducibility | |
| - Built with `python scripts/build_release.py --mixture | |
| data/config/mixture-v8.json`. | |
| - Sampling seed: `balanced-v8`. Splitting seed: `balanced-v3-split`. | |
| - Each shard's SHA256 is recorded in | |
| `auxiliary_metadata/shard_stats.jsonl` (generated alongside the | |
| upload). | |
| - The original JSONL split files are hashed in `auxiliary_metadata/SHA256SUMS`. | |
