The non-profit organization LAION has released a cleaned-up version of its popular AI training dataset LAION-5B. The new dataset, Re-LAION-5B, is said to be free of links to child sexual abuse material and sets a new safety standard.

LAION's Big Video Dataset (BVD) is one of the largest open video datasets for AI research, with 80 million videos, 10 million hours of runtime, and 55 million auto-described clips. Models trained on BVD beat the previous benchmark, InternVid, by up to 2.1 percentage points. Legally, LAION can likely point to a 2024 Hamburg court ruling that allows collecting copyrighted content for non-commercial research.
