Vultr and AMD support University of Cambridge AI project for environmental monitoring
Vultr and AMD are supporting the University of Cambridge’s TESSERA project, an artificial intelligence (AI) foundation model designed to monitor environmental changes using satellite imagery at a global scale.
As part of the collaboration, Vultr is providing cloud infrastructure powered by AMD Instinct MI325X GPUs to support the development and deployment of the model. According to the companies, the infrastructure will be used to generate AI embeddings covering the Earth’s land surface between 2017 and 2025.
Developed by the University of Cambridge’s Energy & Environment Group, TESSERA processes imagery from the European Space Agency’s Sentinel satellites to create AI representations of the Earth’s surface at a 10-metre resolution. The project is intended to support applications including agricultural monitoring, biodiversity conservation and renewable energy infrastructure mapping.
The collaboration will use Vultr’s GPU infrastructure for model training, data processing and long-term storage of the generated datasets. The University of Cambridge also plans...
