OlmoEarth Studio exports custom geospatial embedding rasters

Ai2 added custom OlmoEarth embedding generation and export by polygon, date range, encoder size, resolution, and Sentinel source. Studio produces int8 Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs for similarity search, few-shot segmentation, change detection, and PCA exploration without full model fine-tuning.

Why it matters: The update turns an Earth-observation foundation model into reusable GIS artifacts that existing geospatial tools can inspect and combine.

AlphaEarth releases planetary-scale satellite embeddings

Google DeepMind introduced AlphaEarth Foundations and released annual 64-dimensional Satellite Embedding datasets through Google Earth Engine. The system combines optical, radar, lidar, climate and other observations into 10-meter representations for mapping land and coastal change.

Why it matters: Reusable geospatial embeddings can reduce the data engineering needed for agriculture, conservation, land-use and climate-monitoring applications.
