Colossal Clean Crawled Corpus

As explained in Deep Learning with R, Third Edition

C4 is a large web-derived text dataset used for training and evaluating language models.

The Colossal Clean Crawled Corpus (C4) is a web-derived text dataset released by Google in 2020. Its roughly 750 GB scale supports language-model pretraining, although a practical mini-GPT exercise uses less than 1% of the corpus. section 16.2

A small C4-based training pipeline typically:

Downloads and extracts a reduced dataset containing 50 text shards, each about 75 MB. section 16.2
