DEEPMIND'S GENCAST AI IS REALLY GOOD AT FORECASTING THE WEATHER

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

DeepMind's GenCast AI outperforms existing weather forecasting systems, like ECMWF's, with significant improvements in accuracy and efficiency. The diffusion model, trained on 40 years of data, uses probabilistic predictions and requires less computing power than traditional methods. It has some limitations in predicting hurricane intensity. GenCast is open-source and will integrate with Google Earth.
