Export and import generators

MOSTLY AI allows you to export already trained generators from one environment and import them into another.

The export and import of generators is useful when you need to have a separation of concerns. For example, you can train a generator with the Synthetic Data SDK in an environment where you have direct and secure access to the original data, and where it is safe to train generators on the original data. In this scenario, the data remains private as the generator learns only the statistical properties and never memorizes specific data points.

You can then export the trained generator from the secure environment and import it into a running instance of the MOSTLY AI Platform. That instance can be made available to everyone in your organization. People can then use the Platform to generate privacy-safe synthetic data and extract data insights with the Assistant without access to the original data.

Result

The generator is exported as a ZIP archive. You can now import it into another instance of the MOSTLY AI Platform (local or remote).

Import a generator

Learn how to import generators into another instance of the MOSTLY AI Platform with the UI and the Synthetic Data SDK. You can do so in a local environment as well as in a remotely running MOSTLY AI Platform.

UISynthetic Data SDK

You can use the UI of another instance of the MOSTLY AI Platform to import exported generators.

Steps

1. On the Generators page, click Import from file.
2. On the Import Generator prompt, click in the upload area to browse or drag-and-drop the exported generator ZIP file.
3. Click Proceed.

Result

The imported generator opens immediately. You can now use it to generate synthetic data in the new environment.
