Provides a curated dataset of 1 trillion tokens spanning 539,406 PDF documents with aligned image-to-text pairs extracted from Common Crawl 2023-06 snapshot. The dataset uses a hierarchical indexing structure that maps document boundaries, page-level image coordinates, and corresponding OCR/text extractions, enabling efficient retrieval of multimodal training samples at scale without requiring full dataset materialization in memory.
Unique: Combines 1 trillion tokens of document text with aligned page-level images from a single Common Crawl snapshot, providing temporally-consistent multimodal pairs at unprecedented scale — most competing datasets either use synthetic image-text pairs or lack document-level coherence across modalities
vs alternatives: Larger and more document-focused than LAION-5B (which emphasizes web images) and more naturally-paired than synthetic datasets like Synthetic Docvqa, with real-world OCR challenges that improve model robustness
Implements HuggingFace Datasets streaming protocol that enables on-demand loading of document samples without downloading the full 1T token dataset upfront. The architecture uses memory-mapped file access and configurable batch sampling strategies, allowing training loops to fetch and cache only the samples needed for each epoch while maintaining deterministic shuffling across distributed workers.
Unique: Uses HuggingFace's streaming protocol with deterministic shuffling and worker-aware sharding, enabling true distributed training without pre-downloading — avoids the storage bottleneck that limits competitors like LAION-5B when used in multi-node setups
vs alternatives: More practical for large-scale training than downloading full datasets upfront, and more deterministic than ad-hoc web scraping approaches that lack reproducibility
Maintains structured metadata for each document including source URL, Common Crawl snapshot date (2023-06), document hash, page count, and extraction quality scores. This metadata is queryable and filterable within the dataset, allowing users to select subsets based on source domain, quality thresholds, or temporal characteristics without scanning the full corpus.
Unique: Embeds Common Crawl provenance (URLs, crawl dates, document hashes) directly in the dataset schema, enabling reproducible filtering and bias analysis — most competing datasets either lack this metadata or store it separately, making it harder to correlate quality with source
vs alternatives: Provides better auditability and reproducibility than datasets without source tracking, and more granular filtering than datasets with only aggregate statistics
Extracts page-level images from PDF documents and aligns them with corresponding OCR/text content using spatial layout information (bounding boxes, reading order). The extraction pipeline preserves document structure (headers, footers, tables, body text) by analyzing PDF internal structure and image coordinates, creating naturally-aligned multimodal pairs suitable for vision-language model training without requiring post-hoc alignment.
Unique: Preserves document layout structure through PDF internal coordinate systems rather than post-hoc image analysis, enabling structurally-aware alignment that captures reading order and spatial relationships — most competing datasets either discard layout information or infer it from image analysis alone
vs alternatives: More accurate layout alignment than image-only document datasets, and more scalable than manually-annotated document datasets like DocVQA
Dataset is derived from a single Common Crawl snapshot (2023-06), ensuring temporal consistency across all documents — all PDFs were crawled within a specific time window, avoiding temporal distribution shifts that occur when combining data from multiple crawl dates. The integration includes Common Crawl metadata (WARC records, crawl IDs) enabling users to trace documents back to original crawl artifacts for verification or re-extraction.
Unique: Anchors entire dataset to a single Common Crawl snapshot (2023-06) with traceable WARC references, ensuring temporal consistency and reproducibility — most competing web-derived datasets either combine multiple crawl dates or lack explicit Common Crawl integration
vs alternatives: More reproducible than datasets combining multiple crawl dates, and more verifiable than proprietary datasets without public provenance
Dataset is released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC-BY-4.0) license, permitting commercial use, modification, and redistribution with attribution. The license is applied at the dataset level, though individual documents may have different licenses — users are responsible for verifying compliance for derived works, but the dataset itself imposes minimal legal restrictions on model training and deployment.
Unique: Explicitly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 with clear commercial use rights, reducing legal friction for commercial model training — many competing datasets either lack explicit licensing or use more restrictive licenses (e.g., non-commercial only)
vs alternatives: More commercially-friendly than datasets with non-commercial restrictions, and more legally transparent than datasets with unclear licensing
Implements a Model Context Protocol server that bridges Perplexity's real-time search API with LLM applications, enabling structured queries that return synthesized answers with source citations. The MCP server translates tool-call requests into Perplexity API calls, handles response parsing, and returns results in a format compatible with Claude, LLaMA, and other MCP-aware LLMs. Uses JSON-RPC 2.0 message framing over stdio/HTTP transports to maintain stateless request-response semantics.
Unique: Exposes Perplexity's proprietary AI-synthesized search as a standardized MCP tool, allowing any MCP-compatible LLM to access real-time web answers without direct API integration — the MCP abstraction layer decouples Perplexity's API contract from the LLM client
vs alternatives: Simpler than building custom Perplexity integrations for each LLM framework because MCP standardizes the tool interface; more current than retrieval-augmented generation with static embeddings because it queries live web data
Registers Perplexity search as a callable tool within the MCP ecosystem by defining a JSON schema that describes input parameters, output format, and tool metadata. The server implements the MCP tools/list and tools/call RPC methods, allowing LLM clients to discover available tools, validate inputs against the schema, and invoke search with type-safe parameters. Uses JSON Schema Draft 7 for parameter validation and supports optional tool hints for LLM routing.
Unique: Implements MCP's standardized tool registration pattern rather than custom function-calling APIs, enabling any MCP-aware LLM to invoke Perplexity without client-specific adapters — the schema-driven approach decouples tool definition from LLM implementation details
vs alternatives: More portable than OpenAI function calling because MCP is LLM-agnostic; more discoverable than hardcoded tool lists because schema-based registration allows dynamic tool enumeration
Perplexity scores higher at 40/100 vs MINT-1T-PDF-CC-2023-06 at 22/100.

Implements a stateless MCP server that communicates via JSON-RPC 2.0 messages over stdio (for local integration) or HTTP (for remote access). Each request is independently routed to the appropriate handler (search, tool listing, etc.) without maintaining session state or connection context. The server uses a simple message dispatcher pattern to map RPC method names to handler functions, enabling lightweight deployment as a subprocess or containerized service.
Unique: Uses MCP's standard JSON-RPC 2.0 message framing with dual transport support (stdio and HTTP), allowing the same server code to run as a subprocess or remote service without transport-specific branching — the abstraction is at the message handler level, not the transport layer
vs alternatives: Simpler than REST APIs because JSON-RPC 2.0 provides standardized request/response semantics; more flexible than gRPC because it works over stdio and HTTP without code generation
Manages Perplexity API authentication by accepting an API key at server initialization and injecting it into all outbound Perplexity API requests via HTTP headers. The server handles credential validation (checking for missing or malformed keys) and propagates authentication errors back to the MCP client. Uses environment variables or configuration files to avoid hardcoding secrets in code.
Unique: Centralizes Perplexity API authentication at the MCP server level rather than requiring each client to manage credentials, reducing the attack surface by keeping API keys in a single process — the server acts as a credential broker between LLM clients and Perplexity
vs alternatives: More secure than embedding API keys in client code because credentials are isolated to the server process; simpler than OAuth because Perplexity uses API key authentication
Parses Perplexity API responses to extract synthesized answer text, source URLs, and citation metadata. The parser maps Perplexity's response schema (which may include nested citations, confidence scores, and related queries) into a normalized output format suitable for MCP clients. Handles edge cases like missing citations, malformed URLs, and partial responses from Perplexity.
Unique: Abstracts Perplexity's response schema behind a normalized output format, allowing MCP clients to remain agnostic to Perplexity API changes — the parser acts as a schema adapter layer
vs alternatives: More maintainable than raw API responses because schema changes are handled in one place; more transparent than black-box search because citations are explicitly extracted and returned
Implements error handling for Perplexity API failures (rate limits, timeouts, invalid responses) by catching exceptions, mapping them to MCP error codes, and returning structured error responses to the client. The server implements retry logic with exponential backoff for transient failures and provides fallback responses when Perplexity is unavailable. Error messages include diagnostic information (HTTP status, error code, retry-after headers) to help clients decide whether to retry.
Unique: Implements MCP-compliant error responses with diagnostic metadata (retry-after, error codes) rather than raw API errors, allowing clients to make informed retry decisions — the error abstraction layer decouples Perplexity's error semantics from MCP clients
vs alternatives: More resilient than direct API calls because retry logic is built-in; more informative than generic error messages because diagnostic metadata is included
