nanochat German: Pretraining Data
This repository uses a subset of the LLäMmlein pretraining dataset, which itself is a strict subset of the German portion of the RedPajama V2 dataset.
To construct the dataset, we download the first 20 JSONL files from LLäMmlein and merge them into a single collection.
Following the original nanochat dataset construction process, we then split the data into shards containing approximately 250 million characters each.
