Clay

We won an Anthem award! ❤️ Over the moon for this recognition. The Anthem Awards, part of the Webby Awards "honors social impact projects that inspire people to take action to improve their communities. The goal is to amplify voices that spark positive global change." Our stuff is so open that anyone can use it without any permission, interaction or even mention. We do this by design to minimize friction. But then, it's sometimes harder to know if what we do is actually used or appreciated. This award goes to all of you, partners, supporters and users who do work with Clay, ... the reason this award happened. As we share on the video below, we're guided by a vision of understanding Earth, much better, much faster and much more easily. We can see that world, and we are committed to help make it happen. Together with all of you. 💚 🌏 https://lnkd.in/dR8jWq_c

As part of the #SatSummit plenary, Bruno Sanchez-Andrade Nuño gave an excellent discourse on the State of AI in geospatial and Earth Observation. Bruno posited that advancements in AI would eat GeoAI (think software is eating the world), and perhaps the traditional geospatial industry is fighting a losing battle. For example, traditional GIS technicians need to unlearn NVDI, because AI/ML engineers can solve this problem more efficiently using modern AI approaches. A parallel he highlighted was that Formula-1 driving teams struggled to train their pitstop teams to perform at peak output because they were trying to teach mechanics how to perform at high output. They learned that finding high-output athletes, like Olympians, and teaching them how to change tires was easier.

Next Monday, at SatSummit, I'll be presenting a state of play of "AI for EO". I know it's only a few days away, but I'd love to gather some quick feedback. If you can, please: 1. Complete the form asap, should take ~1 minute:  https://lnkd.in/ddxbhV7d 2. Send this link to others who you think are stakeholders like you on AI for Earth. Yes , I'll share results here too. PS: I'm fascinated by the responses so far.

⌛ Just two more days to cast a vote to help us win The Anthem Awards Best Use of AI category for our work creating #AIforEarth! 🌍 We're so grateful for everyone's support so far. If you haven't already, you can vote and share with friends here: https://lnkd.in/gwjm8Cdk

What if we could find anything anywhere on Earth all at once? Imagine how profoundly it would improve our awareness of climate change, biodiversity, deforestation, natural disasters... That age is here, up for grabs. We're here in Singapore at the The Forum of Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum to help realize this impact and extending the invitation online. This is the vision I've referenced Zachary Bogue, Andrea Stürmer Christian Jølck Navrina Singh Brian Behlendorf Marga Gual Soler, PhD Raju Narisetti Thomas Crampton Sam Gregory Jaime de Bourbon de Parme Enric Sala Giulio Boccaletti Darby Dunn ... https://lnkd.in/d9qQt6VF #AI #EarthObservation #GeoAI #AIforEarth #Clay

📢 We’re excited to share that we'll soon launch our latest open embeddings run on the entire NAIP archive, building on our recent global Sentinel-2 embeddings announcement! We want to make this run as useful as possible for you, so please share your ideas with us on Github: https://lnkd.in/gynG9muz We are also diving into how to uncover important insights from these embeddings. Our Schmidt Futures Fellow, Alexis Mack, is kicking things off with Network Graph research. We would love to hear your thoughts as we explore this together - get started with our 2 min blog post.

We're honored to have been selected as a Finalist for the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences 4th Annual Anthem Awards in the Responsible Technology - Best Use of AI category. 🎊 Now we need your help! If you're excited about what we're building at Clay, please take a second to share and cast a vote for us: https://lnkd.in/gwjm8Cdk The Anthem Awards

Please vote! Clay is up for The Anthem Awards in the Responsible Technology category. Clay is an open, nonprofit project to help guide the field of geospatial AI toward environmental and social benefit. The early Clay foundation model is already used in a host of applications, ranging from carbon dioxide removal to wildfire prevention and aboveground biomass estimation. Please vote for Clay! https://lnkd.in/giH86SHr Bruno Sanchez-Andrade Nuño, Jed Sundwall, Michal Nachmany, PhD, Matt Gray, Nathaniel Manning, Jahed Momand, Kari Stoever, Maxime Lenormand, Gill Einhorn, Fabien J.G.

Letting our code speak for our work. No marketing, no strategy, no documentation. We gave Google's “NotebookLM”, just the actual code to make Clay. You can hear it here: Clay, an AI for Earth, as judged by an AI. https://lnkd.in/d2Q34TFN

We want your input! 👂 Get ready to “run the world” together! We’re preparing for a global inference run on the Clay model, and we're so excited to be sharing a global set of model outputs, or embeddings, for your open use soon. While we get ready for this global run, we would love to hear your feedback or suggestions on what would be most useful to you. We invite you to weigh in on these plans on GitHub: https://lnkd.in/gynG9muz Before we "run the world", we want to make sure we have the best possible model to do so. We're in the middle of training the next version of the Clay model v1. v1.5 will build on model v1's abilities by adding more and new sources of data (including MODIS) and other architecture updates. More information coming soon on v1.5!
