NVIDIA NeMo Data Designer

NVIDIA NeMo Data Designer is an open-source framework for generating synthetic datasets from scratch or from seed data. It builds datasets column by column using sampler columns, LLM-generated text or structured columns, image and other multimodal models, existing seed datasets, and dependency-aware field generation.

Overview

Workflows can connect to local or remote MCP servers to use external tools and capture interaction traces. Outputs can be previewed, resumed, and monitored, then validated or scored with Python, SQL, custom validators, and LLM judges. The framework also supports plugins for custom columns, seed readers, and processors, and includes a command-line interface for configuring model providers and models.

It is distributed as the `data-designer` Python package and its source repository is licensed under Apache License 2.0. The library includes optional aggregate telemetry for model names and token counts, which can be disabled with `NEMO_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false`.

What NVIDIA NeMo Data Designer is used for

3 uses taken from transcripts — each links to the moment in the video.

  • An open-source framework from NVIDIA for building synthetic data pipelines. It generates data column by column — seed data, sampler columns, LLM-generated text/structured columns, and LLM-as-a-judge validation — described as a DAG, and is used in the workshop to create search tool-calling training data that taught Nemotron models to use web search.

  • Open-source framework for building column-by-column synthetic data generation pipelines

  • A GitHub repo created by the speaker for this workshop, containing the three notebooks (question-answer generation, agentic data via MCP, and end-to-end search riddle generation) plus the slides.
