Level determined for 20% of benchmark cells.

“We train one suite of 8 models on the Pile, and the other on a copy of the Pile after applying near-deduplication with MinHashLSH and a threshold of 0.87”

Training corpora

Contamination analyses

Analyses that found benchmark test data in this model's training data, or in a corpus it uses.

Benchmark cells

Classic LLM benchmarks

Test data seen MMLU (Measuring Massive Multitask Language Understanding) · a contamination analysis found test examples in the pre-training data (MMLU test questions are also substantially 'dirty' in Pile-train: DCLM-baseline (27.70%) has only 1.1x more dirty entries than Pile-train. Exact Pile-train rate is in Table 2 (not reliably extracted from the PDF text).) [third-party study] (via The Pile)

Test data seen HumanEval · a contamination analysis found test examples in the pre-training data (Riddell et al. (2024): 12.2% of HumanEval gold solutions have a perfect (surface- or semantic-level) match in the Pile's GitHub split; CONDA 2024 contamination report also lists openai_humaneval as found (>0%) in EleutherAI/pile. (WIMBD's exact-match input-field check reports 0.00% for openai-humaneval in the Pile, Table 16.)) [third-party study] (via The Pile)

Notes

Base models only, no fine-tuning. Same data order and hyperparameters as the non-deduplicated suite.
