New AI Model based on SDO Data

The new foundation model using SDO data has been released!  The Surya Heliophysics Foundation Model was trained on nine years of SDO data, and will improve predictions of solar activity such as  flares, solar wind, and irradiance.  

Surya was created by the NASA IMPACT (Interagency Implementation and Advanced Concepts Team) AI Team, and is an open-source project and is publicly available via the Hugging Face platform.
