A new paper introduces Geospatial Foundation Models (GeoFMs), which are AI/ML models pre-trained on vast amounts of geospatial data. This approach separates the computationally intensive pre-training from the fine-tuning or prompting by domain experts, democratizing access to advanced AI capabilities. The paper details different types of GeoFMs, practical considerations for their deployment, and a framework for selecting adaptation strategies. It also envisions a future of Agentic Geospatial Reasoning where large language models use GeoFMs as tools for complex analysis and natural language querying. AI
IMPACT This research could enable more accessible and sophisticated geospatial analysis by leveraging pre-trained models and LLM orchestration.
