WeatherNext: AI model achieves breakthrough in forecasting cyclones

Google DeepMind 2 months ago 30 ● 2 sources

Google DeepMind's WeatherNext AI model predicts cyclone tracks, intensity, and wind structure with state-of-the-art accuracy by training on 20 terabytes of atmospheric data and nearly 5,000 historical storms. The model achieves an extra 24 hours of forecast lead time compared to prior systems, equivalent to a decade of traditional meteorological progress. Google is open sourcing WeatherNext 2 and WeatherNext Cyclones models to enable researchers and weather agencies worldwide to improve disaster preparedness and renewable energy forecasting.

Discovery Loop Launches as Independent Company

discoveryloop.com 2 months ago 11 ● 18 sources

Discovery Loop, founded by Google AI veterans Jeff Dean, Sanjay Ghemawat, Quoc Le, and Oriol Vinyals, launched as an independent company to automate scientific and engineering discovery loops using AI and computational infrastructure. The team will initially focus on automating machine learning research before expanding to other domains, with the goal of enabling rapid parallel execution of thousands of experiments to compress iteration time. The automation of experimental loops could accelerate progress across domains from drug discovery to clean energy by reducing the manual, sequential nature of current scientific work.
