gaganghotra_ · x · 2026-08-07
Google DeepMind announced the open-sourcing of WeatherNext, releasing its code and model weights on GitHub for researchers and meteorological agencies.
The model achieves state-of-the-art accuracy in predicting cyclone track, intensity, and wind structure, giving forecasters more than 24 hours of additional predictive accuracy. Furthermore, it can generate 1,000 possible cyclone scenarios in under a minute on a single TPU, helping meteorologists assess everything from likely paths to rare, dangerous rapid intensification events.
