The OlmoEarth models are a flexible, multi-modal, spatio-temporal family of foundation models for Earth Observations.

The OlmoEarth models exist as part of the OlmoEarth platform. The OlmoEarth Platform is an end-to-end solution for scalable planetary intelligence, providing everything needed to go from raw data through R&D, to fine-tuning and production deployment.

We recommend Python 3.12, and recommend using uv. To install dependencies with uv, run:

git clone git@github.com:allenai/olmoearth_pretrain.git
cd olmoearth_pretrain
uv sync --locked --all-groups --python 3.12
# only necessary for development
uv tool install pre-commit --with pre-commit-uv --force-reinstall

uv installs everything into a venv, so to keep using python commands you can activate uv's venv: source .venv/bin/activate. Otherwise, swap to uv run python.

OlmoEarth is built using OLMo-core. OLMo-core's published Docker images contain all core and optional dependencies.

The OlmoEarth models are trained on three satellite modalities (Sentinel 2, Sentinel 1 and Landsat) and six derived maps (OpenStreetMap, WorldCover, USDA Cropland Data Layer, SRTM DEM, WRI Canopy Height Map, and WorldCereal).

InferenceQuickstart shows how to initialize the OlmoEarth model and apply it on a satellite image.

We also have several more in-depth tutorials for computing OlmoEarth embeddings and fine-tuning OlmoEarth on downstream tasks:

• Fine-tuning OlmoEarth for Segmentation
• Computing Embeddings using OlmoEarth
• Fine-tuning OlmoEarth in rslearn

Additionally, olmoearth_projects has several examples of active OlmoEarth deployments.

Our pretraining dataset contains 285,288 samples from around the world of 2.56km×2.56km regions, although many samples contain only a subset of the timesteps and modalities.

The distribution of the samples is available below:

The dataset can be downloaded here.
