From the model card

What allenai says about OlmoEarth-v1_3

Read the model card

OlmoEarth-v1_3-Base is a ViT-Base (128M parameters) foundation model for remote sensing tasks over Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and Landsat images or image time series. It also includes a Perceiver (14.3M parameters) and a linear student which projects the 768 dimensional tokens down to 128 dimensions (0.1M parameters). This model (including the student) is used to generate OlmoEarth's global, annualized embeddings.
