Introduction

Synthetic Data Generator is a tool that allows you to create high-quality datasets for training and fine-tuning language models. It leverages the power of distilabel and LLMs to generate synthetic data tailored to your specific needs. The announcement blog goes over a practical example of how to use it.

Supported Tasks

  • Text Classification
  • Chat Data for Supervised Fine-Tuning
Key Features

This tool simplifies the process of creating custom datasets, enabling you to:

  • Describe the characteristics of your desired application
  • Iterate on sample datasets
  • Produce full-scale datasets
  • Push your datasets to the Hugging Face Hub and/or Argilla

By using the Synthetic Data Generator, you can rapidly prototype and create datasets for, accelerating your AI development process.
