2024-04-17: Dolma v1.7 Release. We have released an updated version of Dolma that we used to train our latest OLMo 7B-v1.7 model.
2024-04-15: License Change. We have updated the license of Dolma to ODC-BY. Please see this blog post for more information.
Versions
At the moment, there are six versions of Dolma available:
Version | Default? | Release Date | Size (gzip) | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
v1_7 |
✅ | 2024-04-15 | 4.5 TB | Used to train OLMo-7B-v1.7. New sources, more quality filtering, fuzzy deduplication. |
v1_6 |
2024-01-31 | 5.4 TB | An update to v1.5 with some deduplication of documents with too few tokens or too many repeated n-grams. | |
v1_6-sample |
2024-01-31 | 16.4 GB | A smaller sample of Dolma, with roughly 10 billion tokens. Useful for data exploration. | |
v1_5 |
2023-10-31 | 6.4 TB | Used to train OLMo-1B. Roughly 3 trillion tokens. | |
v1_5-sample |
2023-10-31 | 2.9 TB | A sample of roughly 1.9 trillion tokens used to train OLMo-7B | |
v1 |
2023-08-18 | 6.0 TB | The first version of Dolma. |

Download
The fastest way to download Dolma is to clone this repository and use the files in the url
directory.
We recommend using wget in parallel mode to download the files. For example:
DATA_DIR="<path_to_your_data_directory>"
PARALLEL_DOWNLOADS="<number_of_parallel_downloads>"
DOLMA_VERSION="<version_of_dolma_to_download>"
git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/dolma
mkdir -p "${DATA_DIR}"
cat "dolma/urls/${DOLMA_VERSION}.txt" | xargs -n 1 -P "${PARALLEL_DOWNLOADS}" wget -q -P "$DATA_DIR"
Then, to load this data using HuggingFace's datasets
library, you can use the following code:
import os
from datasets import load_dataset
os.environ["DATA_DIR"] = "<path_to_your_data_directory>"
dataset = load_dataset("allenai/dolma", split="train")
Licensing Information
We are releasing this dataset under the terms of ODC-BY. By using this dataset, you are also bound any license agreements and terms of use of the original data sources.
