Frequently asked questions

Can I use UltraFeedback commercially?

Yes — UltraFeedback is released under MIT, a permissive license that allows commercial use, including training models you ship in a product. Check the dataset card for attribution requirements before release.

How much data does UltraFeedback contain, and do I need all of it?

UltraFeedback contains 64k Rows. You rarely need all of it: for style and format fine-tuning, a few hundred to a few thousand examples are enough — load a slice (e.g. split="train[:1000]") and scale up only if quality plateaus.

What is UltraFeedback best used for?

The default DPO preference set to run after any SFT pass. It belongs to the Preference (RLHF / DPO) section of our dataset hub, where you'll find alternatives and complementary sets.
