Generate high-quality and diverse synthetic text datasets in minutes, not weeks.
- Get initial evaluation text data instead of starting your LLM project blind.
- Increase diversity and coverage of an existing dataset by generating more data.
- Experiment and test quickly LLM-based application PoCs.
- Make your own datasets to fine-tune and evaluate language models for your application.

- ✅ Text Classification Dataset
- ✅ Raw Text Generation Dataset
- ✅ Instruction Dataset (Ultrachat-like)
- ✅ Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) Dataset
- ✅ Preference Dataset

Currently we support the following LLM providers:
- ✔︎ OpenAI
- ✔︎ Anthropic
- ✔︎ Google Gemini
- ✔︎ Ollama (local LLM server)
- ⏳ more to come...
Try it in Colab:
Make sure you have created a secrets.env file with your API keys. HF token is needed if you want to push the dataset to your HF hub. Other keys depends on which LLM providers you use.

Warning
This library is in its early stages of development and might change significantly.
- RAG datasets
- Personas
- Seeds
- More types of instructions datasets (not just ultrachat)
- More LLM providers
- Deduplication, filtering
- Dataset cards generation
