Niantic announces “Large Geospatial Model” trained on Pokémon Go player data

I’ve published research in this general arena and the sheer amount of data they need to get good is massive. They have a moat the size of an ocean until most people have cameras and depth sensors on their face

It’s funny, we actually started by having people play games as well but we expressly told them it was to collect data. Brilliant to use an AR game that people actually play for fun

Yes it must be almost an exabyte of data.
