Description
Collecting the datasets needed for pretraining is a bit of work, especially when downloading from lots of different URLs behind a firewall.
I see that some version of these seem to be available in HuggingFace datasets repo, like openwebtext.
https://huggingface.co/datasets/openwebtext
For the above, it's especially nice since @stas00 has a small subset one can use for testing:
https://huggingface.co/datasets/stas/openwebtext-10k
It's pretty straight-forward to extend the preprocessing script to use the HF datasets as a source rather than a json file. Would something like that be acceptable as a PR?

Research direction
The issue points to the Megatron-LM v1.1.5-ZeRO3 datasets documentation and the Hugging Face openwebtext and stas/openwebtext-10k datasets. Start by locating the repository's preprocessing script and comparing its JSON-file input with the requested Hugging Face dataset source; done means the supported workflow and validation approach are agreed and documented.
