OlmoEarth by Ai2

OlmoEarth by Ai2 is a comprehensive planetary intelligence platform designed to transform massive geospatial data into actionable, decision-ready information. This ecosystem of AI foundation models enables organizations, researchers, and communities to analyze complex Earth data without the need for in-house artificial intelligence experts. Its primary function is to facilitate continuous planetary monitoring through the efficient processing of satellite imagery and millions of global observations.

The technology behind OlmoEarth is based on a family of open-source models developed by the Allen Institute for AI. The platform offers an end-to-end solution covering the entire data lifecycle: from raw geospatial data ingestion and basic research to fine-tuning, custom embedding creation, and production deployment. Thanks to its optimized architecture, it can perform satellite data inference at a continental scale, completing processes that previously required months of computation in just a few hours.

Key technical capabilities and operational benefits include:

• State-of-the-Art Performance: Outperforms current benchmarks, achieving up to 97% accuracy in identifying ground-level changes.
• Data Efficiency: Enables the generation of precise maps using only a fraction of the data points required by traditional models.
• Cost Optimization: OlmoEarth v1.1 reduces computing costs by up to three times, making constant monitoring feasible within realistic budgets.
• Open Architecture: The models, source code, and training data are openly available to foster transparency and scientific innovation.

This tool is particularly valuable for sectors dedicated to environmental conservation, natural resource management, and climate security. Users can leverage OlmoEarth by Ai2 for critical applications such as developing next-generation fire risk models, global mangrove mapping, or protecting marine ecosystems by detecting offshore activities in near real-time.

The ecosystem is complemented by OlmoEarth Studio, a tool for exporting custom data representations for derivative analysis, and an OlmoEarth API that facilitates the integration of these capabilities into existing technological infrastructures. Thus, the platform combines the power of deep learning applied to remote sensing with accessibility designed to create a real and rapid impact on environmental management.
