# C4 

This repository hosts a copy of the widely used **C4** dataset, a variant of the Colossal Clean Crawled Corpus designed for training and evaluating Large Language Models (LLMs) on news-like text.

C4 consists of cleaned web data from Common Crawl, specifically curated to contain more news-style content. This dataset is commonly used in language modeling tasks, text generation, and research focused on news and article-like content.

## Contents

- `c4.json` (or your actual filename): the standard set of cleaned web data with a news-like style.

Each entry contains:

```
{
  "prompt": "...", 
  "natural_text": "..."
}
```

## Usage

```
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("S3IC/c4")
```

## Source

This dataset is taken from the public C4 release: https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/c4
