title: Pre-training
description: Data format for a pre-training completion task.
order: 1

For pretraining, there is no prompt template or roles. The only required field is `text`:
```{.json filename="data.jsonl"}
{"text": "first row"}
{"text": "second row"}
...
```

### Streaming is recommended for large datasets
Axolotl usually loads the entire dataset into memory. This will be challenging for large datasets. Use the following config to enable streaming:
```{.yaml filename="config.yaml"}
pretraining_dataset: # hf path only
...
```
