GPU-accelerated data curation for LLM training. Supports text/image/video/audio. Features fuzzy deduplication (16× faster), quality filtering (30+ heuristics), semantic deduplication, PII redaction, NSFW detection. Scales across GPUs with RAPIDS. Use for preparing high-quality training datasets, cleaning web data, or deduplicating large corpora.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# NeMo Curator - GPU-Accelerated Data Curation NVIDIA's toolkit for preparing high-quality training data for LLMs. ## When to use NeMo Curator **Use NeMo Curator when:** - Preparing LLM training data from web scrapes (Common Crawl) - Need fast deduplication (16× faster than CPU) - Curating multi-modal datasets (text, images, video, audio) - Filtering low-quality or toxic content - Scaling data processing across GPU cluster **Performance**: - **16× faster** fuzzy deduplication (8TB RedPajama v2) - **40% lower TCO** vs CPU alternatives - **Near-linear scaling** across GPU nodes **Use alternatives instead**: - **datatrove**: CPU-based, open-source data processing - **dolma**: Allen AI's data toolkit - **Ray Data**: General ML data processing (no curation focus) ## Quick start ### Installation ```bash # Text curation (CUDA 12) uv pip install "nemo-curator[text_cuda12]" # All modalities uv pip install "nemo-curator[all_cuda12]" # CPU-only (slower) uv pip install "nemo-curator[cpu]" ``` ### Basic text curation pipeline ```python from nemo_curator import ScoreFilter, Modify from nemo_curator.datasets import DocumentDataset import pandas as pd # Load data …

How to install
mdr add orchestra-research/ai-research-skills/nemo-curator@sha256:d8586e21ecd4df1aThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
