NASA and IBM have teamed up to create an AI Foundation Model for Earth 
Observations, using large-scale satellite and remote sensing data, including 
the Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 ([HLS](https://hls.gsfc.nasa.gov/)) data. By embracing the principles of 
open AI and open science, both organizations are actively contributing to the 
global mission of promoting knowledge sharing and accelerating innovations in 
addressing critical environmental challenges. With Hugging Face's platform, 
they simplify geospatial model training and deployment, making it accessible 
for open science users, startups, and enterprises on multi-cloud AI platforms 
like [watsonx](https://www.ibm.com/watsonx). Additionally, Hugging Face enables easy sharing of the pipelines of the model family, which 
our team calls [Prithvi](https://huggingface.co/ibm-nasa-geospatial/Prithvi-100M), within the community, fostering global collaboration and engagement. More details on Prithvi can be found 
in the joint IBM NASA [technical paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.18660). For more enterprise-ready finetuned versions of the Prithvi model, please visit the [IBM Granite Hugging Face page](https://huggingface.co/collections/ibm-granite/granite-geospatial-models-667dacfed21bdcf60a8bc982).
