Finch 1: a geospatial foundation model trained on imagery from 50+ sensors
Scobleizer · x · 2026-10-27
Locamage has released Finch 1, described as a first step toward one model that works with any sensor, at any resolution, anywhere on Earth.
- Trained on imagery from 50+ sensors across satellites, aircraft, and drones
- Positioned as a general-purpose geospatial foundation model rather than a single-sensor system
