The paper discusses the construction of a massive datastore called MASSIVE DS containing 1.4 trillion tokens of text from diverse domains to enhance language model performance. It explores the efficiency of scaling datastores for retrieval-based language models and the implications for model training and performance.

Key takeaways include the importance of diverse, large datastores for enhancing language model performance, the cost efficiency of constructing datastores compared to training models, and the potential for smaller models with access to large datastores to outperform larger models with limited data access.
