Researchers have developed a method called feature distillation to create more efficient and versatile geospatial foundation models. This technique allows smaller models to learn from larger, pre-trained models, significantly reducing computational costs and training time. The distilled models, such as TerraMind Tiny, Small, and Base, outperformed their scale-matched counterparts and even matched or exceeded larger released models on nine PANGAEA tasks. Additionally, a new multi-expert approach called TEDI was introduced, which combines different models for various imagery types without requiring co-registered data, achieving state-of-the-art performance on a benchmark comparison.
