  # FineWeb-Edu (Lance Format)
22
 
23
+ FineWeb-edu dataset consists of over 1.5 billion rows of educational web pages filtered from the FineWeb dataset.
24
+ Each passage ships with cleaned text, metadata, and 384-dim text embeddings for retrieval-heavy workloads.
25
+
26
+ ## Why Lance?
27
+
28
+ Lance is an open-source format designed for multimodal AI data, offering significant advantages over traditional formats for modern AI workloads.
29
+
30
+ - **Blazing Fast Random Access**: Optimized for fetching scattered rows, making it ideal for random sampling, real-time ML serving, and interactive applications without performance degradation.
31
+ - **Native Multimodal Support**: Store text, embeddings, and other data types together in a single file. Large binary objects are loaded lazily, and vectors are optimized for fast similarity search.
32
+ - **Efficient Data Evolution**: Add new columns and backfill data without rewriting the entire dataset. This is perfect for evolving ML features, adding new embeddings, or introducing moderation tags over time.
33
+ - **Versatile Querying**: Supports combining vector similarity search, full-text search, and SQL-style filtering in a single query, accelerated by on-disk indexes.

54
  Use Lance's native connector when you need ANN search, FTS, or direct access to embeddings while still pointing to the copy hosted on Hugging Face:
55
 
56
  ```python
 
59
  ds = lance.dataset("hf://datasets/lance-format/fineweb-edu/data/train.lance")print(f"Total passages: {ds.count_rows():,}")

61
 
62
+ ### Load with LanceDB
63
+
64
+ These tables can also be consumed by [LanceDB](https://docs.lancedb.com/), the multimodal lakehouse for AI (built on top of Lance).
65
+ LanceDB provides several convenience APIs for search, index creation and data updates on top of the Lance format.
