OlmoEarth v1 FT — AWF (Base)
A fine-tuned Earth-observation model mapping land use and land cover in southern Kenya for conservation.
What OlmoEarth v1 FT — AWF (Base) is
OlmoEarth v1 FT — AWF (Base) is an Earth-observation model developed by allenai as part of the OlmoEarth v1 suite. It addresses environmental monitoring needs by supporting conservation initiatives associated with the African Wildlife Foundation.
The checkpoint is fine-tuned specifically to map land use and land cover across southern Kenya, providing automated landscape classification for ecological and conservation research.
How it works
The model is fine-tuned from OlmoEarth-v1-Base using Earth-observation data. It adapts the base checkpoint's representations to detect and map land use and land cover categories within southern Kenya.

Run it here
We list this model but cannot run it yet: no pipeline_tag — needs a human.
Everything on this page still applies. Running it needs a loader for this repository, not a bigger machine.
Strengths and limits
Good at
- Specialised specifically for land use and land cover classification in southern Kenya.
- Directly adapts the OlmoEarth-v1-Base architecture to conservation tasks.
Watch out for
- Trained specifically on southern Kenya and may not transfer effectively to other geographic areas.
- Focused narrowly on land use and land cover mapping rather than broader Earth-observation tasks.
