HUD launches DataVendor public beta, allowing companies to sell private data to AI labs
HUD has launched the DataVendor public beta, a marketplace that lets companies sell private data to AI labs for model training and evaluation. Labs can purchase materials that are not available on the public internet, such as production codebases with years of Git history, and inspect their quality without viewing the raw files. Public repositories cannot be listed or priced because models have already been trained on them; every listing undergoes an automated scan before going live to check for leaked keys and personal data; for task sets, buyers can first run a random task in their own HUD workspace before deciding whether to purchase the entire set.
