# falcon-refinedweb-100M
## Dataset Description
This is a **100.0 Million token** subset of [krisbailey/falcon-refinedweb-1B](https://huggingface.co/datasets/krisbailey/falcon-refinedweb-1B), which is a subset of [tiiuae/falcon-refinedweb](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tiiuae/falcon-refinedweb).
## Motivation
100M tokens is a standard size for:
- **CI/CD Pipelines:** Fast enough to download and train for unit tests.
- **Debugging:** Verifying training loops without waiting for hours.
- **Scaling Laws:** The first step in a logarithmic scaling series (100M -> 1B -> 10B).
## Dataset Details
- **Total Tokens:** 99,999,978
- **Source:** krisbailey/falcon-refinedweb-1B
- **Structure:** First ~10% of the randomized 1B dataset.
- **Format:** Parquet (Snappy compression) - Single File
- **Producer:** Kris Bailey (kris@krisbailey.com)
## Usage
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("krisbailey/falcon-refinedweb-100M", split="train")
print(ds[0])
```
