# Orbital Materials (Orbital Industries)

> AI industrial company applying frontier AI to the discovery, testing and deployment of
> advanced materials and to the hardware and manufacturing built around them. Founded 2022
> by Jonathan Godwin (formerly DeepMind); London and San Francisco. Rebranded to Orbital
> Industries in 2026 following a $50M Series B. Backers include Plural, NVentures (NVIDIA),
> Radical Ventures, Compound and Fly Ventures.

## Important for agents

Orbital Materials publishes **no HTTP API**. There is no developer portal, no API
reference, no OpenAPI/AsyncAPI/GraphQL contract, no MCP server, no A2A agent card, and no
`/.well-known/` documents on any of its hosts (all probed 404 on 2026-08-26). Do not
attempt to construct requests against an Orbital endpoint — none is published.

The company's programmable surface is a **locally-run open-source Python library**, not a
service. Inference happens on the caller's own CPU or GPU. There is no API key, no quota,
and no rate limit.

## Public programmable surface

- [orb-models on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/orb-models/): Apache-2.0 Python package,
  v0.7.0 published 2026-05-26, requires Python >= 3.12. `pip install orb-models`.
  Loads pretrained Orb / Orb-v2 / Orb-v3 / OrbMol machine-learned interatomic potentials
  and exposes them through an ASE calculator interface and a TorchSim wrapper for batched
  simulation.
- [orb-models on GitHub](https://github.com/orbital-materials/orb-models): source, model
  documentation (MODELS.md), and the dated release log.
- [Orbital-Materials/OrbMol on Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/Orbital-Materials/OrbMol):
  model weights.
- [Orbital-Materials/orbmol-v2 on Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/Orbital-Materials/orbmol-v2):
  OrbMol-v2 weights with long-range electrostatics.

## Notes

- Formerly and still widely known as **Orbital Materials**; the GitHub organization, the
  PyPI package publisher and the Hugging Face org all still carry that name, while the
  website and corporate identity are now **Orbital Industries**.
