Toolkit for curating language-model pretraining data: built-in taggers (Gopher, C4, OpenWebText), custom taggers, and Rust Bloom-filter deduplication. Runs on a single machine, a cluster, or in the cloud, including S3-compatible storage.

Distinct from the Dolma dataset artifact.

Adoption

2.0

PyPI downloads of the dolma package are the usage signal for this tool, counted with mirror traffic as for every PyPI-routed product. Mirrors account for most of this package's downloads, so the figure without them is far lower.

Capability

The Dolma toolkit is judged through the corpus it builds, since the toolkit has no benchmark of its own. That corpus scores below RedPajama and RefinedWeb on DataComp-LM, which places the toolkit two tiers below datatrove.

    Table 2 of the DataComp-LM paper compares Dolma-V1 with RedPajama and RefinedWeb at the 7B-1x scale, and the text notes that "all four datasets use various heuristic filters and data cleaning steps" before ranking RefinedWeb first; the table caption adds "Despite not mixing high-quality sources" RefinedWeb performs best, with Dolma-V1 at 35.0 Core and 18.4 Extended below RedPajama and RefinedWeb.
