ArXi:2510.09894v2 Announce Type: replace Recent geospatial foundation models (GFMs) produce spatially extensive representations of the Earth's surface that capture rich physical and environmental patterns. Among them, the AlphaEarth Foundation (AE) represents a major step, generating 10m embeddings from multi-source Earth Observation (EO) data that include diverse environmental and spectral characteristics.
