Cendol Collection
IndoNLPCendol Collection is the instruction-tuning data IndoNLP used to train the Cendol family of language models for Indonesian and the country's local languages. Version 1 holds task-specific prompts built from NLP datasets for sentiment analysis, translation, summarization and question answering. Version 2 adds general-knowledge and human-centric prompts used for the Cendol-Chat models. Both are described in the Cendol paper.
Both dataset cards are copies of the Cendol model card and say little about how the prompts were assembled; the description relies on the model card's account of the two training stages.
Openness
4 medium confidence- license
- apache-2.0(card metadata on both repos
- access
- public(both repos ungated)
- dataset_card
- partial(cards reproduce the model card and name the subset but do not describe sources or composition)
Both versions download without a gate under Apache-2.0. Their cards describe the Cendol models rather than the prompts, so how the data was assembled has to be read from the paper.

Adoption
1 high confidenceAdoption is Hugging Face downloads summed over the v1 and v2 repositories. Fine-tunes that reuse a local copy are not counted.

Capability
4 medium confidenceThe collection trained IndoNLP's Cendol Instruct and Chat models, from 300 million to 13 billion parameters, and the Cendol paper documents it. Like WangchanThaiInstruct it has a paper and named models trained on it, but its task prompts are rebuilt from existing labeled datasets and its cards do not describe the contents.
