Dataset Description
The Luciole-PostTraining-Dataset-1.1 is a curated collection of open, instruction-style text data designed for language model post training. It includes a mixture of synthetic and non-synthetic instructions for supervised fine-tuning (SFT) as well as pairs of responses designed for preference alignment (e.g., DPO). With the exception of data for safety alignment, the alignment pairs were generated synthetically with a delta learning approach: all pairs were generated with Qwen3-32B and Qwen3-0.6B and the former were labeled as the accepted responses. Safety data were generated with a mixture of Qwen3-14B , Ministral-3-14B-Instruct, and an interim checkpoint of Luciole-8B-Instruct, after SFT. Pairs were judged with both Ministral-14B-Reasoning and Qwen3-14B. A pair was included only if both models agreed on their labels.
While Luciole-PostTraining-Dataset-1.1 contains some multilingual data, it is primarily English. This version will be followed with versions containing higher levels of multilingual, and especially French, data.
The Luciole PostTraining Dataset was created by the consortium of the OpenLLM France project funded by BPI France as a part of the France 2030 program. Datasets were processed and stored on the GENCI supercomputer Jean Zay, managed by IDRIS.

Curation Rationale
The Luciole-PostTraining-Dataset-1.1 contains only corpora previously published under open licenses or new data generated with open-weights models. It was created in part to facilitate the training of large language models in strict conformance to open-source requirements and European laws on AI development and intellectual property.
Version 1.1 of the dataset is the first step in a larger project of creating a large, open, multilingual post-training dataset, with a particular focus on French.
By sharing our resources openly, we aim to further research on, and development of, multilingual language models.
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
A large portion of data in the Luciole-PostTraining-Dataset-1.1 was generated with third-party, open-weights models which are liable to introduce unwanted linguistic and cultural biases. Efforts to create post-training data targeting languages and cultures in Europe are ongoing and will require an iterative approach.
Due to its role of teaching models what behavior counts as "unsafe", safety alignment pairs are susceptible to contain toxic or dangerous content.
A further limitation of this dataset is that it does not distinguish between variants of different languages. American English and varieties of English spoken in England, for example, are merely labeled as "English". In future work, we hope to focus more on regional linguistic diversity.
Data Subsets
The Luciole-PostTraining-Dataset-1.1 is divided into four subsets:
- [
sft_instruct]: instruction-style data without thinking traces - [
sft_thinking]: instruction-style data with thinking traces - [
dpo_instruct]: instructions with pairs of accepted and rejected responses, without thinking traces - [
dpo_thinking]: instructions with pairs of accepted and rejected responses, with thinking traces (🚧 coming soon)
Sample Metadata
The SFT subsets contain a single [messages] field which provides the content of the sample formatted as a conversation following the HuggingFace chat format.
The DPO subsets contain [chosen] and [rejected] fields, each formatted as a conversation where the content is identical except for the final assistant turns.
Downloading the Data
Available Configurations
The dataset is organized into configurations, each corresponding to a subset of the data used for a particular training stage, e.g. instruction finetuning.
The list of available configurations can be obtained programmatically:
from datasets import get_dataset_config_names
config_names = get_dataset_config_names(
"OpenLLM-France/Luciole-PostTraining-Dataset-1.1"
)
print(config_names)
['dpo_instruct', 'sft_instruct', 'sft_thinking', 'dpo_thinking']
Loading Examples
Load all the samples for a particular configuration, here dpo_instruct:
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset(
"OpenLLM-France/Luciole-PostTraining-Dataset-1.1",
"dpo_instruct"
)
Load the samples for a particular split within a configuration, here smolrewrite in dpo_instruct:
dataset = load_dataset(
"OpenLLM-France/Luciole-PostTraining-Dataset-1.1",
"dpo_instruct",
split="smolrewrite"
)
Details on Data Sources
To preprocess the split datasets, we checked for the presence of names of LLMs and companies (Claude, Amazon, etc.) as well as for Chinese and Russian. Given that most of the data was generated with open source models from Qwen and DeepSeek, there was a preponderance of Chinese and Russian script intermingled with our languages of interest. Samples containing any of these were removed entirely. The prepocessing scripts can be found in this folder of the Luciole-Training repository.
All datasets sourced for different post training phases for Luciole Instruct 1.1 models are listed in the table below, according to data category. Note that for certain datasets we upload our preprocessed version here in its entirety, but only used a randomly selected subsample during training. These are indicated by a weight in cyan, the proportion of the total data which is equal to the number of samples indicated. All of the datasets are in English, except where indicated in violet.
Token Counts
For each subset, the charts below provide a breakdown by token count showing the relative proportions of each data category. The counts for the instruct datasets are based on outputs from the Luciole instruct tokenizer, and thinking datasets from the Luciole thinking tokenizer (🚧 coming soon).
