FORGE is now Node Data — the marketplace for physical AI
We're rebranding to Node Data and doubling down on a single mission: a trusted marketplace for the neural networks, datasets, and robotics models that power the physical-AI economy.
By The Node Data Team
Today FORGE becomes Node Data. The name is new, but the mission is the one we started with: build the marketplace where the physical-AI economy trades the neural networks, datasets, robotics models, and AI workflows it runs on.
Every URL, API host, and SDK package name continues to function unchanged through the end of 2026, so nothing you've built breaks. The new primary host is nodedata.dev, and the SDK packages keep their @nodedata scope.
Why the change
Physical AI is different from the software that came before it. A grasp policy has to move a real gripper. A perception model has to survive real lighting. The data behind them is expensive to capture and easy to get wrong. That reality demands a marketplace built for provenance, licensing, and safety from the first commit — not one bolted on later.
"Node" is how we think about that world: every robot, dataset, and model is a node in a shared network, and value flows between them. Node Data is where those nodes meet.
What you get on day one
- A marketplace for models, datasets, and simulation environments with clear licensing on every listing.
- Node Factory — describe an asset and let it draft a Jetson-ready package for you to review and publish.
- ND GO — a mobile app that turns everyday chores into labeled robot-training data.
- A typed API and official SDKs for Python, TypeScript, Go, and Rust.
- Creator payouts through Stripe Connect with a transparent 25/75 split.
“We're not building a model zoo. We're building the trade layer for the physical world.”
