Ai2's OlmoEarth platform turns satellite inference into a distributed systems problem
Ai2's OlmoEarth Platform tackles the unique scale of geospatial inference by splitting work into CPU-driven data prep, GPU inference, and CPU postprocessing. A continent-wide wildfire risk map ran with a 155x speedup at a fraction of a cent per square kilometer. The architecture, tolerance for failures, and roadmap show how the team is operationalizing foundation models for environmental organizations.
