Researchers have introduced GeoCore-9B, a new 9-billion-parameter generative foundation model specifically designed for Earth observation tasks. Unlike previous models that fine-tuned natural image priors, GeoCore-9B is trained exclusively on Earth observation data using a Flow Matching-based Diffusion Transformer. It natively incorporates geospatial metadata such as latitude, longitude, and ground sample distances into its generation process. To improve training stability and accuracy, a Geospatial Semantic Alignment loss was developed to distill structural Earth surface priors from a specialist teacher network. AI
