The best LLM pretraining dataset depends on your goal. FineWeb-Edu for small models, DCLM-Baseline and Nemotron-CC for scale, Common Pile for licensed text.
Train a small LLM from scratch with nanochat, and learn when NVIDIA Megatron-LM fits: model sizes, budgets, datasets, compute math and multi GPU parallelism.
