NASA and IBM have released a free, open-source artificial intelligence model built to help scientists analyze the Moon's surface, including estimating where water ice could remain stable near the lunar poles. The NASA-IBM Lunar Foundation Model, announced Sept. 10, is available on Hugging Face, with its full code on GitHub. NASA describes it as among the first open-source AI models built specifically for lunar science.
