Build synthetic datasets

✨Declarative building blocks🧠AI-powered variationsβš™οΈTypesafe pipelines

Like React, but for datasets β€” declarative and typesafe DSL for composing conversations and generating thousands of AI-powered training examples.

Compose reusable conversations with a declarative DSL and generate production-ready datasets in minutes.

Production feature set

Everything you need to ship datasets continuously

Torque borrows from the best product-engineering playbooks: versioned blueprints, strict typing, reproducible runs, and streaming observability. No YAML, no bespoke tools β€” just code.

🎯

Declarative DSL

Compose conversation blueprints like React components, turning dataset design into a predictable, readable workflow.

πŸ”’

Fully Typesafe

Harness Zod-powered typing with end-to-end inference so every AI training workflow stays safe, reliable, and maintainable.

πŸ”Œ

Provider Agnostic

Generate with OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, vLLM, LLaMA.cpp, or any model supported by your composable data pipeline.

πŸ€–

AI-Powered Content

Blend handcrafted prompts with AI dataset generation to produce realistic multi-message conversations at scale.

πŸ’°

Cache Optimized

Reuse context across runs to minimize token spend while keeping dataset scaling fast, efficient, and reproducible.

⚑

Concurrent Execution

Stream progress in a beautiful CLI with concurrent workers, deterministic seeds, and instant feedback loops.

The challenge

Building synthetic datasets for LLMs is tedious

Every team building AI products hits the same roadblocks when trying to create high-quality training data at scale.

πŸ“Š

Sometimes you don't have enough real data

⏱️

Maintaining quality and consistency across thousands of examples is extremely time consuming

πŸ”§

Tool calling patterns require intricate message sequences and are error‑prone

πŸ”€

Generating different conversation flows means rewriting everything or creating various hard to maintain scripts

🎲

Designing generators that are random yet reproducible is surprisingly complex

🧩

Getting AI to understand complex composition scenarios (nested variations, conditional flows) takes significant prompt engineering time

The gaps in today's tooling

Dataset creation is still stuck in 2012-era workflows

Torque is built for product teams that expect the same polish from their AI training data as they do from their production apps. First, let's take a quick look at the pain that keeps teams from shipping.

How Torque helps

From idea to production-ready datasets in three moves

Torque replaces sprawling prompts and brittle scripts with a composable TypeScript toolkit. Every phase is automated, typed, and observable.

β€œTorque is the missing layer between your product engineers and the models they rely on.”

01Stage 1

Compose declarative blueprints

Describe each conversation as a reusable component. Torque keeps prompts, metadata, and policy checks together in strongly typed modules.

Ship new flows faster with versionable building blocks, not ad-hoc scripts.

02Stage 2

Scale with concurrency & caching

Spin up tens of workers, hydrate examples with AI, and cache deterministic seeds so teams get repeatable datasets without wasting tokens.

Every run logs audit trails, token spend, and policy results β€” plug it straight into CI.

03Stage 3

Evaluate continuously

Replay production traffic through model providers, enforce quality gates, and ship regressions straight into Slack or GitHub checks.

Close the loop with built-in evaluations and targeted retries when policies fail.
