Introducing OlmoEarth embeddings: Custom embedding exports from OlmoEarth Studio for downstream analysis
Allen AI's OlmoEarth Studio introduces the ability to compute and export embedding vectors from its open-source Earth observation foundation models. Users can define area of interest, time range, encoder variant (Nano, Tiny, Base), spatial resolution, and imagery sources via UI or API. The exported Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs) contain signed 8-bit integer vectors per dimension. The embeddings support tasks like similarity search, segmentation, and unsupervised exploration. The source code and model weights are publicly available.

AMD Introduces Threadripper Halo Station at IFA 2026
At IFA 2026, AMD unveiled the Threadripper Halo Station, a workstation combining a 96-core Zen 5 CPU with up to 4 Instinct MI350P cards (each 144GB HBM3E, 600W TBP). The system can hold a trillion-parameter model entirely on-device. Both CPU and GPUs are liquid-cooled. Full specs, pricing, and availability have not been announced.
AMD unveils Threadripper Halo Station, an AI workstation packing 96 cores and dual liquid-cooled MI350P accelerators — 'the most powerful workstation in the world' can run trillion-parameter models, says AMD
AMD unveiled the Threadripper Halo Station, an AI workstation it calls 'the most powerful in the world,' at IFA 2026. The system combines a 96-core Zen 5 Threadripper Pro 9995WX CPU with dual liquid-cooled Instinct MI350P accelerators (144GB HBM3E each), 2TB DDR5, and support for up to four GPUs. AMD claims it can run trillion-parameter models. Estimated component cost exceeds $100,000, with fully configured systems potentially over $150,000. No price or release date was announced, and AMD has not yet named OEM partners.
