What buyers use this for
How AI teams source training data, evaluation supply, and custom data work through listings, samples, and briefs.
Off-the-shelf supply
Teams that need ready-made data assets start in Browse listings. The catalog is dense and scannable — type, domain tags, and headline pricing on each row; opening a row shows delivery and asset detail on the full listing record.
Common purchases:
- Evaluation environments and tasksets for benchmarking models and agents
- Codebases and zip bundles for training or fine-tuning on real software artifacts
- Compound listings when a buyer needs multiple deliverable kinds in one transaction
Buyers can save listings to an org-wide shortlist while evaluating options.
Try before you commit
Samples let buyers purchase a small, platform-chosen slice of fungible supply — tasks and environments — before buying the full listing. Sampling is eligibility-gated: the listing needs multiple units of a sampleable kind and a positive per-unit price. Repos and zip bundles are not sampleable.
Use samples to validate format, runtime compatibility, and task quality against your stack before a full buy now purchase.
Custom work through briefs
When off-the-shelf supply is not enough, buyers post a brief: a structured request describing the custom data work they need. Briefs move through Draft → Open → Closed. While open, they are either public (visible in the vendor Project briefs catalog) or invite-only.
Vendors respond by applying — each application is an offer, not a lightweight interest form. When a buyer accepts an offer, a project begins. One open brief can spawn multiple parallel projects if the buyer accepts several applicants.
Who plays which role
Buyers
Organizations that purchase listings or commission custom work. Buyer workflows include browsing and saving listings, sampling and checkout, posting and managing briefs, and tracking projects commissioned from accepted offers.
Vendors
Organizations that list existing assets or respond to briefs. Two commercial paths:
- Listing (supply-first) — publish formal assets to the catalog
- Brief (demand-first) — apply to buyer requests with tailored offers
Vendors can also submit data proposals to signal inventory they could deliver without a full listing, and run asset estimations on supply they already hold.
