OlmoEarth v1.3: INSANE Satellite AI or Fooled by WINTER? I Tested It on My RTX 4060

OlmoEarth v1.3 satellite embeddings, tested on my own laptop GPU: can they tell real land change (forest to mine) from a plain seasonal change? I ran the model locally on an RTX 4060 8GB, on Sentinel-2 images of a Peruvian mining area and an Iowa farm. Mostly yes, not perfectly. Results and limits are in the video.

The test results are mine: one mine site, one farm, one date pair each, encoder features (768 numbers), not the 128-number release embedding.
