IBM has made its geospatial AI foundation model — built from NASA's satellite data — openly available on Hugging Face.
The watsonx.ai model "is designed to convert satellite data into high-resolution maps of floods, fires, and other landscape changes," IBM says. It is the largest geospatial model hosted on Hugging Face, and it "can analyze geospatial data up to four times faster than state-of-the-art deep-learning models."
The move is aimed at increasing access to NASA satellite data and accelerating climate-related research. "The essential role of open-source technologies to accelerate critical areas of discovery such as climate change has never been clearer," said Sriram Raghavan, Vice President, IBM Research AI.
