Prithvi-EO
NASA IMPACTPrithvi-EO is an Earth-observation foundation-model family jointly developed by NASA and IBM. Its spatiotemporal vision transformer consumes Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel imagery together with location and acquisition-time metadata, and the release includes several model sizes plus configurations and notebooks for downstream remote-sensing tasks.

The weights are permissively licensed and the training inputs are described, but the repository starts at inference and downstream fine-tuning rather than reproducing pretraining.

Capability
4 high confidenceThree of four attributes place it one rung below TerraMind; masked pretraining reconstruction does not by itself count as a scientifically meaningful generative output.
