For this inference tutorial on TPU (which uses vLLM), you must install `maxtext[tpu-post-train]`, as it includes the required adapter plugin. We recommend installing from PyPI to ensure you have the latest stable version of dependencies.
 
 After finishing the installation, ensure that the MaxText on vLLM adapter plugin has been installed. To do so, run the following command:

 In this tutorial, we introduce how to run pretraining with real datasets. While synthetic data is commonly used for benchmarking, we rely on real datasets to obtain meaningful weights. Currently, MaxText supports three dataset input pipelines: HuggingFace, Grain, and TensorFlow Datasets (TFDS). We will walk you through: setting up dataset, modifying the [dataset configs](https://github.com/AI-Hypercomputer/maxtext/blob/f11f5507c987fdb57272c090ebd2cbdbbadbd36c/src/maxtext/configs/base.yml#L631-L675) and [tokenizer configs](https://github.com/AI-Hypercomputer/maxtext/blob/f11f5507c987fdb57272c090ebd2cbdbbadbd36c/src/maxtext/configs/base.yml#L566) for training, and optionally enabling evaluation.

 To start with, we focus on HuggingFace datasets for convenience.
 
 - Later on, we will give brief examples for Grain and TFDS. For a comprehensive guide, see the [Data Input Pipeline](../guides/data_input_pipeline.md) topic.
