Synthetic data is increasingly used in language-model pretraining. Existing knowledge-corpus synthesis pipelines, including WRAP and Nemotron-CC, usually take a source passage or document segment as input and generate rewritten or QA-style samples from that text. This can improve surface form and prompt diversity, but it does not explicitly require fine-grained source facts — especially secondary entities, list/table entries, and precise temporal attributes — to appear in the synthesized corpus. We propose AFCS (Atomic-Fact-Conditioned Synthesis), a pipeline that first extracts source-supported atomic facts and then uses each extracted fact to drive generation. AFCS uses structure-aware extraction over the document tree, source-grounded verification, local context expansion, and multi-format generation. In continued-pretraining experiments with OLMo-3-7B and a 32B base on the same FineWiki source corpus, AFCS outperforms WRAP and Nemotron-CC on SimpleQA, SimpleQA Verified, PopQA, and HotpotQA. Granularity ablations show that fact-level synthesis improves over chunk-level, paragraph-level, and entity-level synthesis; and a 100B-token mid-training integration improves factual benchmarks and raises the 12-task general benchmark average by +1.09.

Synthetic data rephrasing has emerged as a powerful technique for enhancing knowledge acquisition during large language model (LLM) pretraining. However, much of web-scale synthetic rephrasing operates at the single-document level, rewriting individual web pages in isolation. This confines synthesized examples to intra-document knowledge, missing cross-document relationships and leaving facts with limited associative context. We propose WRAP++ (Web discoveRy Amplified Pretraining), which amplifies the associative context of factual knowledge by discovering cross-document relationships from web hyperlinks and synthesizing joint QA over each discovered document pair. Concretely, WRAP++ discovers high-confidence relational motifs including dual-links (A ↔ B) and co-mentions (A → E ← B with A → B), and synthesizes QA that requires reasoning across both documents. This produces relational knowledge absent from either source document alone, creating diverse entry points to the same facts. Because the number of valid entity pairs grows combinatorially, this discovery-driven synthesis also amplifies data scale far beyond single-document rewriting. Instantiating WRAP++ on Wikipedia, we amplify ∼8.4B tokens of raw text into 80B tokens of cross-document QA data. On SimpleQA, OLMo-based models at both 7B and 32B scales trained with WRAP++ substantially outperform single-document approaches and exhibit sustained scaling gains, underscoring the advantage of cross-document knowledge discovery and amplification.
