Google Unveils NeuralGCM: AI-Powered Weather Model 100,000 Times More Efficient

Jul 22, 2024, 09:28 PM

Google has introduced NeuralGCM, a groundbreaking weather and climate prediction model that combines artificial intelligence (AI) with traditional physics-based modeling. This innovative approach significantly reduces the computational power required for accurate predictions and matches or improves the accuracy of standard weather forecasts. NeuralGCM, developed by Google Research, has been published in Nature and is capable of tracking long-term climate trends and extreme weather events such as cyclones. The model is up to 100,000 times more efficient than other models, providing scientists with powerful new tools for predicting climate change. The advancements have been highlighted by Financial Times and New Scientist.
