   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.

   HUD launches DataVendor data marketplace, where AI labs can buy private data at listed prices

   HUD releases the public beta of DataVendor, an online marketplace that lets companies sell private data to AI labs; labs can browse data, view automated quality results, try samples, and purchase at listed prices. The marketplace does not include or price public code repositories, because frontier models have already been trained on that code; buyers can see quality results and a desensitized file tree, and can randomly run 1 task from the task set within their own HUD workspace. Previously, labs procuring private data for RL environments typically had to go through intermediaries, NDAs, and weeks of testing.
