Overview

• Data preparation is a crucial first step for developing large language models (LLMs).
• This paper introduces an open-source toolkit called the Data Prep Kit (DPK) that simplifies and scales data preparation.
• DPK allows users to prepare data on a local machine or scale to run on a cluster with thousands of CPU cores.
• DPK provides a set of highly scalable and extensible modules for transforming natural language and code data.
• The modules in DPK have been used for preparing data for the Granite Models.
