New chapter in the Hugging Face NLP course! 🤗 🚀

We've added a new chapter about the very basics of Argilla to the Hugging Face NLP course. Learn how to set up an Argilla instance, load & annotate datasets, and export them to the Hub. 

Any feedback for improvements welcome!

Introducing scandi-fine-web-cleaner davanstrien/scandi-fine-web-cleaner, the first model trained on FineWeb-C community annotations!

FineWeb2 is a massive multilingual dataset for pre-training language models. Like any web-scale dataset, it contains low-quality content. How can we improve it?

Over the past months, an amazing community of 400+ annotators has been labelling content quality (using Argilla) across 23 languages through the FineWeb-C initiative.

Today, I'm happy to share the first classifier trained on this data.

🔍 What we've built:

- A lightweight classifier that efficiently removes low-quality content
- 90%+ precision demonstrated on Danish & Swedish
- Can process the 43M+ documents in Danish FineWeb2 with minimal compute

🌍 Why this matters: The approach can be reproduced for any of the 23 languages in FineWeb-C ( data-is-better-together/fineweb-c). We can improve training data quality at scale without massive compute resources by starting with community annotations and training small, efficient classifiers.

Want to build a classifier for your language? Check out the full blog post with code examples and implementation details: https://danielvanstrien.xyz/posts/2025/FineWeb-c/scandinavian-content-filtering-fineweb.html

The data-is-better-together/fineweb-c dataset is growing!

This week a few more languages have got 1,000 annotations for the educational quality of data from HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-2.

Why should you care?

The quality of pre-training data can have a big impact on the performance of downstream language models trained on that data ( HuggingFaceFW/blogpost-fineweb-v1).

Being able to filter by educational quality is on way of improving the quality of the data you use for training an LLM. Very importantly this approach can also reduce the amount of data needed for pertaining.

Why not use an LLM?

LLMs can be used to annotate educational quality for a subset of data. This data can then be used to train a smaller encoder only model to label the full dataset. However, this may not work well for languages outside of english. This is where fineweb-c (community) comes in.

The community is annotating the educational quality of fineweb2 data. Currently 114 languages have some annotations. These annotations will enable a number of things:

- Evaluate whether an LLM can label the educational quality for texts in that language well
- Directly be used for training quality classifiers
- Help discover other rules and huerisitcs for refining fineweb2 further for different languages.

This week the following languages where done:

Swedish thanks to: @Lauler @AntonVic @ohallstrom @bjarlestam @menbom @Ekgren @apsod

Ukrainian thanks to: @hannayukhymenko @robinhad @realPivo @RabotiahovDmytro @reciprocate

Assamese thanks to: @moyoor97 @Arpanjyoti @nawaf-helmi123 @pahigogoi1 @aelhence @kishorekashyap

🇸🇰 Hovorte po slovensky? Help build better AI for Slovak!

We only need 90 more annotations to include Slovak in the next Hugging Face FineWeb2-C dataset ( data-is-better-together/fineweb-c) release!

Your contribution will help create better language models for 5+ million Slovak speakers.

Annotate here: data-is-better-together/fineweb-c.

Introducing FineWeb-C 🌐🎓, a community-built dataset for improving language models in ALL languages.

Inspired by FineWeb-Edu the community is labelling the educational quality of texts for many languages.

318 annotators, 32K+ annotations, 12 languages - and growing! 🌍

If you are still wondering how the FineWeb2 annotations are done, how to follow the guidelines or how Argilla works, this is your video!

I go through a few samples of the FineWeb2 dataset and classify them based on their educational content. Check it out!

How do your annotations for FineWeb2 compare to your teammates'?

I started contributing some annotations to the FineWeb2 collaborative annotation sprint and I wanted to know if my labelling trends were similar to those of my teammates.

I did some analysis and I wasn't surprised to see that I'm being a bit harsher on my evaluations than my mates 😂


Do you want to see how your annotations compare to others?
👉 Go to this Gradio space: nataliaElv/fineweb2_compare_my_annotations
✍️ Enter the dataset that you've contributed to and your Hugging Face username.

How were your results?

We are proud to announce HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-2: A sparkling update to HuggingFaceFW/fineweb with 1000s of 🗣️languages.

We applied the same data-driven approach that led to SOTA English performance in🍷 FineWeb to thousands of languages.

🥂 FineWeb2 has 8TB of compressed text data and outperforms other multilingual datasets in our experiments.

The dataset is released under the permissive 📜 ODC-By 1.0 license, and the 💻 code to reproduce it and our evaluations is public.

We will very soon announce a big community project, and are working on a 📝 blogpost walking you through the entire dataset creation process. Stay tuned!

In the mean time come ask us question on our chat place: HuggingFaceFW/discussion

H/t @guipenedo @hynky @lvwerra as well as @vsabolcec Bettina Messmer @negar-foroutan and @mjaggi

🌐 Announcing Global-MMLU: an improved MMLU Open dataset with evaluation coverage across 42 languages, built with Argilla and the Hugging Face community.

Global-MMLU is the result of months of work with the goal of advancing Multilingual LLM evaluation. It's been an amazing open science effort with collaborators from Cohere For AI, Mila - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute, EPFL, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, AI Singapore, National University of Singapore, KAIST, Instituto Superior Técnico, Carnegie Mellon University, CONICET, and University of Buenos Aires.

🏷️ +200 contributors used Argilla MMLU questions where regional, dialect, or cultural knowledge was required to answer correctly. 85% of the questions required Western-centric knowledge!

Thanks to this annotation process, the open dataset contains two subsets:

1. 🗽 Culturally Agnostic: no specific regional, cultural knowledge is required.
2. ⚖️ Culturally Sensitive: requires dialect, cultural knowledge or geographic knowledge to answer correctly.

Moreover, we provide high quality translations of 25 out of 42 languages, thanks again to the community and professional annotators leveraging Argilla on the Hub.

I hope this will ensure a better understanding of the limitations and challenges for making open AI useful for many languages.

Dataset: CohereForAI/Global-MMLU
