## Versions

At the moment, there are five versions of Dolma available:

| **Version** | **Default?** | **Release Date** | **Size** (gzip) | **Description** |
|--|:--:|--|--|--|
| `v1_6` | ✅ | 2024-01-31 | 5.4 TB | The latest version of Dolma, with 3 trillion tokens from a diverse mix of web content, academic publications, code, books, and encyclopedic materials. |
| `v1_6-sample` | | 2024-01-31 | 16.4 GB | A smaller sample of Dolma, with roughly 10 billion tokens. Useful for data exploration. |
| `v1_5` | | 2023-10-31 | 6.4 TB | The version of Dolma used to train [OLMo-1B](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-1B). Roughly 3 trillion tokens. |
| `v1_5-sample` | | 2023-10-31 | 2.9 TB | A sample of roughly 1.9 trillion tokens used to train [OLMo-7B](https://huggingface.co/allenai/OLMo-7B) |
| `v1` | | 2023-08-18 | 6.0 TB | The first version of Dolma. |

(Size difference between `v1_6` and previous version is due to different set of metadata included in files: we removed redundant metadata in `v1_6`.)

## Download

The fastest way to download Dolma is to clone this repository and use the files in the `url` directory.
We recommend using wget in parallel mode to download the files. For example:

```bash
DATA_DIR="<path_to_your_data_directory>"
PARALLEL_DOWNLOADS="<number_of_parallel_downloads>"
DOLMA_VERSION="<version_of_dolma_to_download>"

git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/dolma
mkdir -p "${DATA_DIR}"


cat "dolma/urls/${DOLMA_VERSION}.txt" | xargs -n 1 -P "${PARALLEL_DOWNLOADS}" wget -q -P "$DATA_DIR"
```

Then, to load this data using HuggingFace's `datasets` library, you can use the following code:

```python
import os
from datasets import load_dataset

os.environ["DATA_DIR"] = "<path_to_your_data_directory>"
dataset = load_dataset("allenai/dolma", split="train")
```
