# Mix-Context Post-Training Dataset for 128K Context Extension

## Overview

**Mix-Context Post-Training 128K** is a dataset designed specifically for **post-training context window extension** of pretrained LLMs.

It targets the stage *after base pretraining*, where a model is adapted to operate over **much longer contexts (up to 128K tokens)** while preserving short-context behavior. The dataset mixes short- and long-context packed sequences with a controlled length distribution to support:

- Post-training context window extension
- Length generalization / robustness evaluation
- Continued training after positional / RoPE scaling methods

If you use this dataset for post-training, context window extension, or evaluation, **please cite this dataset** (see Citation).

## Dataset Format

Each example is a **packed sequence** ready for causal LM training:

- `input_ids`: token IDs
- `position_ids`: positional indices aligned to the packed sequence

**Note:** This dataset does **not** include raw text. It contains tokenized, packed sequences produced by the preprocessing pipeline.

## Construction Summary (High-Level)

This dataset is generated by:
1. Downloading public corpora used for short- and long-context content
2. Tokenizing with a specified tokenizer (default in scripts: `meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B`)
3. Filtering and bucketing by token length
4. Packing sequences to target context windows
5. Concatenating short- and long-context components into the final dataset

### Tokenizer
- Tokenizer name/path: `meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B`
- Each text is encoded with explicit BOS/EOS:
  - `BOS + text + EOS`
- Length statistics and buckets are **tokenizer-dependent**

### Short-Context Component
- Source: FineWeb-Edu (`HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu`, `sample/10BT`)
- Bucketed by token length (target sample sizes):
  - 64–2,048: 8,000
  - 2,048–4,096: 8,000
  - 4,096–9,216: 16,000
- Packed to **8K context** (short context length)

### Long-Context Component
- Source: RedPajama-Data-1T (`togethercomputer/RedPajama-Data-1T`)
- Splits used:
  - `arxiv`
  - `wikipedia`
  - `common_crawl` (subset used in preprocessing)
- Documents are filtered before tokenization by raw byte length (approx):
  - min: 32 KB
  - max: 800 KB
- After tokenization, long sequences are filtered and bucketed in token ranges:
  - 8K–32K, 32K–64K, 64K–128K, 128K–200K
- Packed to **128K context** (long context length)

### Packing / Sequence Construction
Packing concatenates tokenized samples sequentially until reaching `max_seq_len`:
- `max_seq_len = 128K`
- Short packing `context_len = 8K`
- Long packing `context_len = 128K`
