IBM and NASA deploy open-source geospatial AI foundation model on Hugging Face

Image
Hugging Face, the popular platform for open-source models, has just added yet another valuable addition to its repository. IBM and NASA have joined hands to introduce the watsonx.ai geospatial foundation model on Hugging Face, marking a significant milestone in the world of AI and climate science. The development of this remarkable model was initially revealed back in February, with the primary goal of harnessing the potential of vast volumes of satellite imagery. By leveraging this data, the model aims to contribute to the advancement of climate science and ultimately enhance life on our planet. The open-source model was meticulously trained on NASA's Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 satellite data (HLS) and went through additional fine-tuning using labeled data for various specific use cases, including burn scar and flood mapping. This rigorous training process ensures that the model is well-equipped to provide accurate and valuable insights into critical geospatial applications. By...

The top cryptocurrency experienced a 1.87 percent decline on Tuesday, trading at approximately $28,879 (equivalent to roughly Rs. 23.7 lakh). Over the past 24 hours, the value of BTC has dropped by $546 (approximately Rs. 44,940). Industry experts speculate that this lackluster performance can be attributed to a dearth of significant macroeconomic news, making it challenging for investors to make confident decisions on the cryptocurrency's direction. On August 1, Ether experienced more substantial losses compared to Bitcoin. The second-most valuable cryptocurrency faced a decline of 2.33 percent, causing it to trade at approximately $1,825 (roughly Rs. 1.50 lakh). Shubham Hudda, the Senior Manager at CoinSwitch Markets Desk, offered insights into the market situation, stating that the crypto market underwent selling pressure in the last 24 hours. From ...
