Evaluation of language modeling performance on the FineWeb 10 Billion token dataset, constrained to an 8192 token sequence length, measured by Validation Loss.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Language Modeling |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | FineWeb 10B 8K sequence length |
| Metric | Validation Loss |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 16 of 16 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Validation Loss](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/language-modeling-on-fineweb-10b-8k-sequence-length.md?metric=Validation%20Loss>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
