💥 Facing the LLM Scaling Challenge Head-On! 💥
Glad to introduce MGA: Reformulation for Pretraining Data Augmentation!
The AI world is grappling with data limitations and the performance hit from data repetition.
We introduce MGA (Massive Genre-Audience) Reformulation – a groundbreaking, scalable data augmentation method to revolutionize how we train LLMs!

Releasing another fastText classifier with @ontocord - this time is to filter math from web data.
@armandjoulin @EXGRV @p_bojanowski Tomas Mikolov's FastText ages very well, one of the secret behind pretraining data curation as its throughput is 2000 examples per second in CPU!
Imo, FastText is the best practice. It is quick to train and scales well. If you look at the technical reports, @deepseek_ai and @Alibaba_Qwen team used them to curate their maths model (they didn't open source model though).
The whole collection has over 300,000+ downloads:
Maths: huggingface.co/kenhktsui/mat…
Codes: huggingface.co/kenhktsui/cod…
Educational Value: huggingface.co/kenhktsui/llm…
huggingface.co/kenhktsui/fin…
What do you think—fastText still the GOAT for scalable data curation?

Grass, Ontocord, and LAION launch VALID
We’re excited to share the release of VALID (Video-Audio Large Interleaved Dataset) by the world-renowned teams at @ontocord and @laion_ai. VALID was built using the Grass Video Repository.
This dataset is comprised of 30 million audio snippets interleaved with images and text, making it the FIRST EVER video-audio interleaved dataset.
