# FineWeb 100BT (Shuffled)

A globally shuffled version of [HuggingFaceFW/fineweb_100BT](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb_100BT).

Part of the [Smol-Data](https://huggingface.co/collections/HuggingFaceFW/smol-data) collection — tried and tested mixes for strong pretraining.

## Dataset Description

This dataset contains the same ~100B tokens as [fineweb_100BT](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb_100BT) but with all documents globally shuffled (seed=42). Use this version when you need randomized document ordering for pretraining.

## How It Was Created

The unshuffled dataset was loaded into memory, shuffled with `dataset.shuffle(seed=42)`, and re-uploaded with 100 shards. See the [smol_data.py](https://github.com/huggingface/datatrove/blob/main/examples/smol_data.py) script for details.

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("HuggingFaceFW/fineweb_100BT-shuffled", split="train", streaming=True)
for sample in ds:
    print(sample["text"][:200])
    break
```
