Data-Selection/BSL-470M

BSL-470M

paper | code

BSL-470M is a 470M model with Mistral achitecture pre-trained from scratch on the CC split of Redpajama.

It is used as the baseline for PDS-470M.

Evaluation

PDS-selected data improves the performance of language models pre-trained from scratch and saves pre-training comptation. The improvement scales up to large model sizes.
