Description

Currently planned to train on fineweb-edu-10BT, however for a small model it's better to overfit on more tokens and ignoring chinchilla scaling laws. Thus it might make sense to download & pre-process fineweb-edu-30BT instead, and we can just stop early if needed (will need to take into account cosine annealing)
