Solaris Small Patch 8

This repository contains a Solaris-Small checkpoint trained for 12-hour multi-wavelength solar forecasting, following the Solaris pretraining setup from Solaris: A Foundation Model of the Sun.

This checkpoint supersedes the earlier patch-size-8 upload. It was trained with a chronological 80/10/10 split, a 24-hour guard band at split boundaries, AdamW weight decay 0.05, and no EMA weights.

The checkpoint was trained on hrrsmjd/AIA_12hour_512x512 for 7750 optimizer steps using two history frames (t-12h, t) to predict all eight pretraining wavelengths at t+12h.

Loading

import torch

from solaris.model.solaris import SolarisSmall

checkpoint = torch.load("solaris_small_patch8_model_state_dict.pt", map_location="cpu", weights_only=False)

model = SolarisSmall(
    out_levels=len(checkpoint["wavelengths"]),
    patch_size=checkpoint["patch_size"],
)
model.load_state_dict(checkpoint["model_state_dict"])
model.eval()

scale_factors = torch.tensor(checkpoint["scale_factors"], dtype=torch.float32)
norm_coeff_1 = checkpoint["norm_coeff_1"]
norm_coeff_2 = checkpoint["norm_coeff_2"]

Inputs should be normalized with the Solaris transform used during training. Model outputs are normalized intensities; multiply by the per-wavelength scale factors before comparing to raw-intensity targets.

Training Notes

Scale factors were computed as half the average per-image maximum over unique train-split timestamps:

[57.944149103084534, 214.99738922760267, 1590.2998402078304, 2397.489401917806, 1080.261734048243, 830.778793198845, 104.45557294825853, 274.65685334356664]

The final logged training-batch metrics at step 7750 were:

weighted MAE: 0.007597
mean raw RMSE: 19.576
per-wavelength raw RMSE: [1.210, 4.034, 49.249, 53.399, 20.770, 17.612, 1.653, 8.684]
