| ### Dataset Summary |
|
|
| - This dataset aims to **facilitate the creation of sophisticated, multi-turn dialogue datasets focused on coding** |
| that could be used for **training reasoning Large Language Models (LLMs)**, particularly for **Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) and Knowledge Distillation** techniques. |
| - It also serves as a **robust foundation for problem-solving** in Large Language Models (LLMs). |
| - The dataset includes both **accepted and failed solutions** from [CodeChef](https://www.codechef.com) Starters Contests. |
| - It covers contests up to **START** contest **196** **(Jul 23, 2025)**. |
| - In total, it features **1747 unique problems** and **1,522,035 submissions** across over **38 different programming languages**. |
