While today is a milestone, we aren't pausing. We know there's much to fine tune in how we deploy foundation models to get the best performance, & features that will be critical to integrating Earth Index into regular workflows. Tell us what works today and what more you need.

We work closely with many partners to solve their needs for new data and apply their data. Staying close to immediate problems of environmental problems has given us such strong focus to prioritize what's most important in the experience of Earth Index.

And thoughtfully prioritize and focus product features and interactions to surface the most immediately useful functionality. The last point is key. We love technology but ultimately we care about substantial contribution to a more sustainable world.

Working with AI models is hard. Working with Earth data is hard. It doesn't have to be. I've been blown away by our scrappy team pulling together to process and set up infrastructure to preposition the entire world.

Global Earth Index. Search anywhere for anything. A breakthrough moment. Sign up for the waitlist, we'll let you in soon. Fill critical environmental data gaps. I am so excited to see what you do with it.

Tell *us* who is being wasteful 😡🏈 #StandwithUSAID #saveforeignaid

Earth Foundation Models having a break out moment? Great talking with @jackiesnow about the positive impact this human centered approach to Earth data and AI is having today.

... The journalists used these detections to plan their reporting trips, where to go and who to talk to, how to keep themselves safe. They depended on the veracity of our work."

Ed writes so well on our work. Worth a read. "A lot of machine learning for remote sensing can feel like an academic exercise ... This is fine when the goal is to push boundaries in algorithm development. It’s not great when someone is trying to work closely with the data...

Thanks Ryan Gajarawala and Schmidt Futures for accelerating Earth Index user adoption.

📣 The OSMF has been selected by the Sovereign Tech Agency (@sovtechagency) for a service agreement in the amount of €384k over 2 years to ensure the stability, growth and modernization of OSM's core software. #opensource #opendata (link 👇)

Our founder Steve McCormick shares a short video by @SusCon_CA on our work together on groundwater recharge in California & reflects on how well targeted digital tools can accelerate solutions to the most challenging environmental problems.

Hutch shares how we selected Major TOM grids, and the release of Go and Python libraries to work with Major TOM grids.

📰🌐GIJN just released 2024's best investigative stories in Spanish & our team contributed to 2 of the 8 featured series! Congratulations to our partners - we look forward to using the power of Earth Index to unlock more impactful stories. https://t.co/PdbPinypue

We ran along with @ConservationOrg experimenting with generative AI to make environmental research more accessible.

Big news today -- Earth Genome has won the AWS IMAGINE Grant! Momentum is building for Earth Index to go planetary scale, and put Earth observation and AI in the hands of researchers, journalists, decision makers and advocates worldwide.

We met for a very full 2 days to take stock of where were are with Earth Index, get aligned on what to build in 2025, and organize ourselves together. https://t.co/c8ZAybPqwN

We built Climate TRACE 2024! More coverage and granularity that ever. 100 time more data, and the map experience is even better. This has been an intense fun build. Read about how we built it https://t.co/s8tx0pOwKC Incredibly proud of the all out effort by our collective team!

We work closely with our users as we build Earth Index, and recently took a deeper look at their motivations, needs, and challenges with AI and earth observation. https://t.co/jeNRCPfjFE
