Google DeepMind 10 months ago 4
Google DeepMind and Google Research released WeatherNext 2, an AI weather forecasting model that generates predictions 8 times faster than previous versions with hourly resolution. Each forecast takes less than a minute on a single TPU compared to hours on traditional physics-based supercomputers, and the model outperforms its predecessor on 99.9% of weather variables and forecast lead times. The technology is now integrated into Google Search, Gemini, Pixel Weather, and Maps, with access available through Earth Engine, BigQuery, and Vertex AI for developers and weather agencies.
