Clay Foundation Model#
An open source AI model for Earth#
Clay is a foundational model of Earth. It uses a Vision Transformer architecture adapted to understand geospatial and temporal relations on Earth Observation data. The model is trained via Self-supervised learning (SSL) using a Masked Autoencoder (MAE) method.
The Clay model can be used in three main ways:
Generate semantic embeddings for any location and time.
Fine-tune the model for downstream tasks such as classification, regression, and generative tasks.
Use the model as a backbone for other models.
