The read
Code reprices upward.
Code is repricing upward (the top of the published middle half is about 3× the $5,869 from the 5 November member cut), while the buyer pool narrowed by one own-account records buyer after Patronus AI’s arrival. Patronus joined on 4 November (https://data.patronus.ai). It licenses private codebases with history, company records, and released games; publishes no price; makes a written offer after a sample review under NDA; and pays referring partners 15% of the license fee. It is still on the board. micro1 now quotes company packages at $100K–$500K / $500K–$3M / $3M+ and referral packages at $100K–$3M+. Its data-partnerships hero now says it “pays companies to license the valuable operational data they already generate.” Datasets, tasks and environments are now quoted per hour of work: $42–$96 (7 buyers), after $512–$2,000 per environment on the 5 November cut. Other unchanged middle-half bands on 8 November: video and footage $15–$177 per hour (13); images $0.32–$5.04 per image (11); audio and speech $65–$266 per hour (9); text and archives $0.00031–$0.0022 per word (7); physical-world data $4.48–$25 per hour of video (5); expert and human work $51–$100 per hour (3). Lazarus terms from the 3 November archive still hold: no lump sum of up to $1M; it licenses a company’s record and pays a share on every sale, nothing upfront, split unpublished; referrals up to $50K. Mercor, Scale, Polyshares, Labelbox Prism, Nyne, and Mode/BizBuyData were unchanged in the 4–8 November cuts. Operating records continue to move toward licensing (Lazarus, Patronus, micro1). Anthropic, xAI and OpenAI still staff Human Data, with one fewer Anthropic platform role.
