| | # Pile Uncopyrighted |
| | In response to [authors demanding that LLMs stop using their works](https://tcrn.ch/3rtpIDn), here's a copy of [The Pile](https://huggingface.co/datasets/monology/pile) with all copyrighted content removed. |
| | Please consider using this dataset to train your future LLMs, to respect authors and abide by copyright law. |
| | Creating an uncopyrighted version of a larger dataset (ie RedPajama) is planned, with no ETA. |
| |
|
| | **Methodology** |
| | Cleaning was performed by removing everything from the Books3, BookCorpus2, OpenSubtitles, YTSubtitles, and OWT2 subsets. |
| | Based on section 7.1 of [the original paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.00027), these datasets are the only ones which are not explicitly allowed to be used in AI training. |
