Anna's Archive has presented a legitimate way to access AI training data through the llms.txt standard
Details
Anna's Archive announced a new data access guide for AI language models. llms.txt is a standardized format for organizations to communicate their data access policies to AI models, a concept similar to robots.txt.
Anna's Archive encourages LLM developers to access data through legitimate channels instead of bypassing security, and offers the following methods:
- Bulk download: HTML and code access via GitLab repository
- Torrents:
aa_derived_mirror_metadatadataset for metadata and files - Programmatic API: Torrents JSON API for automated downloads
- Authenticated API: Individual file requests for donors
- SFTP: Enterprise option for large organizations
This initiative presents a mutually beneficial model where AI developers can legally obtain training data while also supporting the preservation activities of the non-profit archive.
