Enhancing Language Models with a Massive Datastore

The paper discusses the construction of a massive datastore called MASSIVE DS containing 1.4 trillion tokens of text from diverse domains to enhance language model performance. It explores the efficiency of scaling datastores for retrieval-based language models and the implications for model training and performance.
