Overview

Synthetic data generation uses AI to create training data, reducing reliance on expensive human-labeled datasets.

What is it?

Machine-generated data used to train or evaluate AI models.

Why it matters

Quality data is expensive. Synthetic data can augment limited datasets, protect privacy, and enable training on rare scenarios.

How it works

LLMs generate diverse examples based on specifications. The data is validated, filtered, and used to train or fine-tune models.
