Dataset Details

Dataset Description

Recursalberg is a cleaned dataset of Project Gutenberg books. We downloaded all the publicly available Gutenberg books at the time and processed them.
Filtering to a total amount of tokens of ~5.32B (llama-2-7b-chat-tokenizer) / ~4.83B (RWKV Tokenizer) from primarily English language.

Curated by: KaraKaraWitch
Funded by: Recursal.ai (I work there lol)
Shared by: KaraKaraWitch
Language(s) (NLP): Primarily English

Recursal's Vision

To make AI accessible to everyone, regardless of language, or economical status

This is the collective goal of the RWKV Open Source foundation and Recursal AI, the commercial entity who backs it.

We believe that AI should not be controlled by a select few individual organization. And that it should be made accessible regardless if you are rich or poor, or a native speaker of english.

About RWKV

RWKV is an Open Source, non profit group, under the linux foundation. Focused on developing the RWKV AI architecture, in accordence to our vision.

The RWKV architecture scales efficiently and economically. As an RNN & Transformer hybrid, it is able to provide the performance similar to leading transformer models, while having the compute and energy efficiency of an RNN based architecture.

You can find out more about the project, and latest models, at the following

About Recursal AI

Recursal AI, is the commercial entity built to provide support for RWKV model development and users, while providing commercial services via its public cloud, or private-cloud / on-premise offerings.

As part of our vision. Our commitment, is to ensure open source development and access to the best foundational AI models and datasets.

The following dataset/models provided here, is part of that commitment.
