TeraflopAI/SEC-EDGAR

Datamule, Teraflop AI, and Eventual collaborated to release the SEC-EDGAR dataset.

The dataset contains 590 gbs of data, spanning 8 million samples and 43 billion tokens from all major filings in the SEC EDGAR database.

The bulk data was collected using datamule-python library and the official datamule api created by John Friedman. The datamule Python library is a package for collecting, manipulating, and processing the SEC Edgar data at scale. Datamule provides a simple open-source api interface to easily download each of a company's filings by ticker and submission type. SEC EDGAR rate limits at 10 requests per second. Constantly crawling 8 million major filings without network overhead takes over 10 days alone, following the official EDGAR guidance. The documentation for datamule can be found here.

The dataset contains the raw contents of each major filing, the extracted and parsed HTML/XML plaintext, and relevant metadata such as the filing’s accession number, filing date, period, documents, and filer. The raw document contents are provided so that you may use your own custom parser to extract the HTML/XML to plaintext. The text was parsed and extracted from the HTML/XML contents using the selectolax HTML parser and a modified version of doc2dict and secsgml libraries.

The SEC SGML library is used to parse through the Standard Generalized Markup Language document format used by the Securities and Exchange Commission and to handle daily archive and submission file types. The doc2dict library provides multiple parsers for extracting HTML, XML, and PDF content, and was used to convert to plaintext and explicitly handle table mappings. The documentation for doc2dict can be found here.

A total of 8 million individual filings were extracted with metadata. The document metadata contains the file type, sequence, filename, description, and number of SEC SGML bytes. The filer metadata contains the company name, Central Index Key, assigned Standard Industrial Classification Codes, IRS number, state of incorporation, fiscal year, act, file number, business address, and other relevant information.

Samples per document type:

Filing	Total number of samples
Form 5	114,724
Form 4	4,474,981
Form 3	387,465
S-1	24,866
S-8	95,543
10-K	223,275
8-K	1,952,207
20-F	19,428
10-Q	674,240
144	88,726
Total	8,055,455

To collect the total token counts of each filing, we used the Comma v0.1 tokenizer, a BPE-based tokenizer with a vocabulary size of 64,000. The dataset encompasses a total of 43 billion clean tokens for training LLMs and building retrieval pipelines.
