Open Science
RavensAI believes AI for climate should be open, auditable, and available to researchers and institutions worldwide.
We release training datasets, model weights, and validation benchmarks under open licenses. This commitment enables external auditing, accelerates regional adaptation, and builds trust with institutional partners who can inspect our methods and results.
