Common Crawl Creative Commons Corpus Strict (C5s)

A filtered version of the Common Crawl Creative Commons Corpus (C5), only retaining samples that:

  • are also present in the FineWeb or FineWeb-2 datasets;
  • have no license disagreement (all found licenses have the same type; version number might differ);
  • are not "non-commercial" ("nc" in license);
  • are not "cc-unknown";
  • do not have "wiki" in their name (the idea is that you should include Wikipedia and other Wikidata from other, high-quality resources, parsed with a better parser).

A less strict filtered version called C5f is also available that is only based around the first criterion: FineWeb data.

Created with this script.

For more information, see C5.

  • CC-MAIN-2024-51
  • CC-MAIN-2024-46

Languages

The following languages are included. This is a limited set due to computational and storage limitations.

  • German: deu

Quantity

Counts for the strict release. Detailed number of tokens (Llama 3.3 tokenizer) and number of documents are given in the counts.json file.

Note: when comparing the original with this version, understand that: i. this version does not include crawl 2025-05 because FineWeb(-2) did not include it; ii. both 2024-46 and 2024-51 only contain English because FineWeb-2 did not include those crawls. So calculating quantity reduction after filtering should take this information into account.
