Synthetic data, generated by models or simulations rather than real-world sources, offers a faster and more cost-effective alternative to human annotation for fine-tuning AI models. This approach can lead to improved model performance and generalization while also mitigating privacy and copyright concerns. Two primary methods for generating synthetic data include distillation from a more capable model and self-improvement techniques where a model refines its own output. These methods can be applied to pretraining, instruction-tuning, and preference-tuning to enhance various aspects of a model's capabilities. AI
