# SecureCode Dataset Family Update: 2,185 Security Examples, Framework-Specific Patterns, Clean Parquet Loading
Hey y'all,
Quick update on the SecureCode dataset family. We've restructured things and fixed several issues:
**What changed:**
- The datasets are now properly split into three repos: [unified](https://huggingface.co/datasets/scthornton/securecode) (2,185), [web](https://huggingface.co/datasets/scthornton/securecode-web) (1,378), [AI/ML](https://huggingface.co/datasets/scthornton/securecode-aiml) (750)
- All repos now use Parquet format -- `load_dataset()` just works, no deprecated loading scripts
- SecureCode Web now includes 219 framework-specific examples (Express, Django, Spring Boot, Flask, Rails, Laravel, ASP.NET Core, FastAPI, NestJS)
- Data cards have been corrected and split sizes fixed
**Why it matters:**
With AI-generated code accounting for 60%+ of some codebases (Checkmarx 2025), security training data is more important than ever. Every example in SecureCode is grounded in a real CVE with 4-turn conversations that mirror actual developer-AI workflows.
If you're working on code generation models, I'd love to hear how you're approaching the security angle. Are there vulnerability categories or frameworks you'd like to see covered?
