# Process in batches
for batch in dataset_stream["train"].iter(batch_size=1000):
    # Your training logic here
    pass

🔍 Data Exploration

# Explore sample data
import random

# Random sampling across languages
samples = random.sample(list(train_data), 5)

for i, example in enumerate(samples):
    print(f"\n🔍 --- Example {i+1} ---")
