OLMo: The Only Language Model Family That Open-Sources Its Training Data

Allen AI's OLMo is the only language model family that fully publishes weights, training data (Dolma, 9.3T tokens), training code, all intermediate checkpoints, and evaluation tools. OLMo 3's 32B Think model hits 96.1% on MATH — and you can use OlmoTrace to trace any output back to the exact training data that produced it.

CS336 Lecture 14: Filtering, Deduplication, and Mixing Turn Raw Web Data into Training Data

Lecture 14 moves raw documents through language, quality, and safety filtering; exact and near deduplication; and source mixing. Each stage reshapes model behavior, while synthetic instruction and agent trajectories extend the pipeline into executable environments.

CS336 Lecture 13: Data Does Not Fall from the Sky, and Every Source Has Access and License Costs

Lecture 13 traces training sources through Common Crawl, Wikipedia, GitHub, arXiv, books, and open datasets. Technically accessible is not the same as licensed, and raw data is not training data; provenance must precede cleaning and mixing.

The Research Side of Hermes Agent: Batch-Running Thousands of Prompts Into Training Data

`batch_runner.py` runs thousands of prompts in parallel into ShareGPT-format tool-calling trajectories, lets each prompt name its own container image, and resumes by matching prompt content rather than index. Two quality filters run before you see the data: samples with zero reasoning are discarded, and entries calling hallucinated tool names are dropped at merge time. This is why a research lab builds a personal agent — the agent is the data pipeline.
