tinymix

Small, genre-balanced English pretraining corpora in four sizes (about 1M, 10M, 100M and 1000M words), built for training very small language models. The mix combines synthetic child-level stories and dialogue, simplified real text, encyclopedic and didactic text, books, poetry and news, all filtered toward clear, self-contained documents. It is inspired by TinyStories, SimpleStories, TinyHelen and the BabyLM challenge.

What is different from using those datasets directly:

Several kinds of text in one mix (narrative, dialogue and chat, expository, books, poetry, news), not only stories or only conversations.
Four sizes built with the same recipe, with complexity limits that grow with size.
No non-commercial sources. TinyChat (CC-BY-NC) and the BabyLM corpus (no clear license, includes subtitle and child-speech data) were left out on purpose.
Provenance per document (source, genre) and validation splits per genre, to see which kind of text a model is weak at.
The whole pipeline is included (code/) and every filter decision is documented below.

Subsets

Subset	Train words	Train docs	~Tokens (BPE)
`1M`	1.0M	4,135	~1.3M
`10M`	9.96M	42,117	~12.9M
`100M`	99.5M	338,230	~129.3M
`1000M`	994.92M	3,040,575	~1293.4M

Words are whitespace-separated words in train. Each subset also has about 0.5% of the documents per genre held out as validation_<genre> splits (at least one document per genre; the 1M validation splits are therefore tiny, 4 to 8 documents each, and noisy).

from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("jncarlo/tinymix", "10M")          # splits: train, validation_narrative, validation_dialogue, ...
print(ds["train"][0])                       # {'text': ..., 'source': 'tinystories', 'genre': 'narrative'}

Columns: text (str), source (key of the table below), genre (narrative, dialogue, expository, books, poetry, news). Documents are independent; join them with an end-of-text token when training. Dialogues are formatted one turn per line (Mia: ..., or User: / Assistant: for assistant chats).

The 10M and 100M subsets are within about 1% of their targets (train plus validation splits). In the 10M build, sources that could not fill their quota with the filters (Simple English Wikipedia, Cosmopedia v0.1) were topped up by same-genre substitute sources (tiny-textbooks, Cosmopedia v2), capped per source; that is why tiny-textbooks appears there. The 1M subset keeps the 10M proportions except that Cosmopedia stories (not in the 10M mix) were replaced by TinyStories and SimpleStories.

The 1000M subset is also within about 1% of its target. Five sources ran out under the filters before their quota and were topped up by same-genre substitutes (million words): TinyDialogues by SODA (9.3), SmolTalk by UltraChat (12.3), TinyHelen by tiny-textbooks (15.9), Simple English Wikipedia by tiny-textbooks (8.7) and English Wikipedia lead paragraphs by Cosmopedia v2 (17.0).

How it was built

Normalisation: ftfy, NFKC, ASCII quotes and dashes, whitespace; URLs, e-mails, phone numbers, code, LaTeX and HTML removed. Documents with any character outside ASCII, Latin-1 and Latin Extended-A letters, common punctuation and a few math symbols are rejected whole (reason charset in the build stats).
Language: fastText lid.176, English with confidence >= 0.9 (skipped for TinyDialogues, whose one-word toddler turns confuse it).
Quality heuristics: Gopher-style rules (mean word length, symbol and digit ratio, repeated lines, repeated bigrams, stop words), minimum length, complete ending (drops truncated generations), a short list of LLM tics (delve, tapestry, ...) and an explicit-content word list.
Anti-template: no 4-word opening may exceed 0.5% of a source's documents.
Deduplication across all sources: exact hash and MinHash LSH (5-word shingles, Jaccard >= 0.8).
Complexity control by size (vocabulary coverage = share of lowercase tokens inside the top-N English words of wordfreq):

	10M	100M	1000M
Reference vocabulary	top 8k	top 15k	top 30k
Min vocabulary coverage	90%	90%	90%
Max Flesch-Kincaid grade (narrative, news, books)	5	8	12
Max Flesch-Kincaid grade (expository)	9	10	12
Document length	80 to 600 words	80 to 1200 words	80 to 2000 words
Dialogue: mean words per turn	<= 25	<= 40	<= 80

Assistant chats (User: / Assistant:) may average up to 4 times the per-turn cap and need at least 2 turns (named dialogues need 4), because summarisation and rewrite tasks have 2 turns and assistant answers are long.

Documents longer than the maximum are split at paragraph borders. The 1M subset is a prefix slice of the 10M build; 10M, 100M and 1000M were built separately with the same recipe, so they are not guaranteed to be subsets of each other (a later fix to the end-of-document check, which wrongly rejected Wikipedia articles that end in a heading, was only applied to sources rebuilt for the 100M run). 7. Run safety nets (used to build the larger subsets without manual tuning): a probe per source picks a starting filter strictness, strictness relaxes in up to three logged steps when yield is too low, and shortfalls go to substitute sources.

Thresholds were calibrated on real data: the first values (95% coverage in the top 5k words, Flesch-Kincaid <= 5 for everything) accepted only 3% of SimpleStories and 0.6% of Cosmopedia v2, so they were relaxed as described above.

Licensing and attribution. This repository is a derivative compilation of the datasets above; each document keeps the license of its source. Obligations that matter when redistributing or reusing it:

Attribution is required for CC-BY / ODC-By / CDLA sources (listed above).
The Wikipedia parts (simplewiki, enwiki_intro) are CC-BY-SA-3.0 / GFDL (share-alike). If you need a share-alike-free corpus, filter out those two sources.
Cosmopedia, SmolTalk, UltraChat, TinyStories, SimpleStories, TinyHelen and tiny-textbooks contain model-generated text; check the terms of the generating model (GPT-4, GPT-4o-mini, Mixtral and others) for your use case.
CNN/DailyMail articles and FineWeb-Edu web pages are third-party content; they are included under the dataset licenses above, which do not transfer rights from the original publishers.
Project Gutenberg texts had the Project Gutenberg header and footer removed; they are public domain in the United States, check your jurisdiction.

No personal data was added; e-mails, phone numbers and URLs were removed, but residual personal information in web-derived sources cannot be ruled out.

Sanity-check training runs

Small GPTs (nanoGPT-style, own byte-level BPE trained on each training set). Each row shows its own parameter count and training tokens, so model sizes differ between rows. Scored in bits per byte (lower is better, comparable across tokenizers) on the held-out validation splits of this dataset. Baselines take the first 10M / 100M words of a single source with only ftfy cleaning. They are out of distribution on the genres they do not cover, so the table shows how much genre coverage matters, not a leaderboard. One seed, no tuning. Rows of different sizes are not comparable with each other. The 1M and 10M sets have no books, news or poetry split, hence n/a.

Limitations

Not done: perplexity filtering with an n-gram LM, LLM-judge coherence scoring, semantic deduplication, cluster caps and benchmark decontamination. Expect some residual near-duplicates and some low-quality documents.
Some tinyhelen chunks start mid-thought, because the simplified web and book documents are chunks of longer texts.
Synthetic sources share model-specific style and topics (names, morals, classroom settings). The anti-template cap reduces this but does not remove it.
The toxicity filter is a short word list, not a classifier. Chat and web sources can still contain mildly sensitive content.
English only, mostly simple modern language; it is a poor fit for models meant to handle technical, legal or archaic text.
Word counts are whitespace words; token counts depend on your tokenizer.

Reproduce

code/ contains the build scripts (mix.py quotas and tiers, sources.py adapters, build.py pipeline, build_pool.py for 1000M, assemble.py, publish.py, train.py for the sanity-check runs) and requirements.txt. Building a subset: python build.py 10M (or python build_pool.py 1000M), then python assemble.py 10M. The build streams the source datasets from the Hub.
