Orbital Materials

aid: orbital-materials
name: Orbital Materials
description: Orbital Materials (rebranded Orbital Industries in 2026) is an AI industrial company founded in 2022 by Jonathan
  Godwin, a former DeepMind researcher, with offices in London and San Francisco. It applies frontier AI to the discovery,
  testing and deployment of advanced materials and to the hardware and manufacturing built around them, co-designing materials
  and hardware together rather than sequentially. Its public technical output is a family of open-source machine-learned interatomic
  potentials — the Orb, Orb-v2/v3 and OrbMol foundation models for atomic simulation — distributed as the Apache-2.0 licensed
  `orb-models` Python package on PyPI and GitHub and as model weights on Hugging Face. Its internal platform, CurieOS, and
  its Orbital IT data-center module business are marketed through a contact form rather than a developer program. The company
  publishes no public HTTP API, developer portal, or machine-readable API contract of any kind.

  reason: no-developer-program
  detail: Orbital Materials (now Orbital Industries) ships its only public programmable surface as a locally-run Apache-2.0
    Python package, `orb-models` on PyPI, and its full sitemap lists no /developers, /docs, /api or /pricing page — the CurieOS
    platform is offered only through a "Wondering what CurieOS could do for your R&D?" contact form, and the platform hosts
    that do exist in DNS never answer a TLS handshake from the public internet.
