## AI overview

OlmoEarth v1.1 is a family of transformer-based Earth-observation models designed to reduce compute costs by up to 3x while maintaining v1 performance on research benchmarks and partner tasks.

## Source excerpt

We released OlmoEarth (v1) in November 2025. Since then, partners have applied it across a wide range of tasks, from tracking mangrove change to classifying drivers of forest loss to producing country-scale crop-type maps in days, scaling deployments to national, continental, and global areas. Every release moves us closer to our mission: bringing state-of-the-art AI to organizations and communities working to protect people and our planet.
