Open architecture monitors restricted crops from orbit on one L40S node

CodeNinja published an open reference architecture for detecting banned crops in Saudi Arabia: eight data sources are joined into 14 objects, and two open models, RF-DETR and Chronos-2, totaling about 0.55 GB of weights, run on a single 48 GB L40S-class node inside the Kingdom. Owning the node costs about $15,200 over three years, roughly two-thirds of the deepest three-year AWS commitment.

• RF-DETR and Chronos-2 under Apache 2.0 weigh about 0.55 GB combined
• One 48 GB L40S node costs about $15,200 over three years
• Eight data sources are joined into 14 objects in the model
• A field inspector verifies every flag before a case file opens
