[Resource] Discover Open & Synthetic Datasets For AI Training And Research Via Opendatabay

Hey everyone 👋

I wanted to share a resource we’ve been working on that may help those who spend time hunting for open or synthetic datasets for AI/ML training, benchmarking, or research.

It’s called Opendatabay a searchable directory that aggregates and organizes datasets from various open data sources, including government portals, research repositories, and public synthetic dataset projects.

What makes it different:

• Lets you filter datasets by type (real or synthetic), domain, and license
• Displays metadata like views and downloads to gauge dataset popularity
• Includes both AI-related and general-purpose open datasets

Everything listed is open-source or publicly available no paywall or gated access.
We’re also working on indexing synthetic datasets specifically designed for AI model training and evaluation.

Would love feedback from this community especially around what metadata or filters you’d find most useful when exploring large-scale datasets.
