The OlmoEarth Platform: Geospatial inference at planetary scale

The OlmoEarth Platform, detailed at allenai.org/olmoearth, enables geospatial inference at a planetary scale. Its independent partitions allow stages to run across thousands of compute instances simultaneously. This was demonstrated by generating a North American wildfire-risk map, utilizing 19,600 CPUs and 994 GPUs in parallel, achieving a 155x speedup by reducing 4,737 hours of serial compute to 30.5 hours. The platform also aims to lower barriers to geospatial model use through agentic tools and interfaces.
