## Summary

WindBorne Systems, an AI weather forecasting startup, reportedly outperformed government-run systems, with its forecasts described as showing AI disrupting a centuries-old science. According to the article, WindBorne's five-day forecasts are as accurate as one-day predictions from cutting-edge physics models, and they require far less powerful machines. The article notes that AI has been reshaping forecasting since a Google DeepMind model beat the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts in 2024, after which the ECMWF began incorporating AI into its own forecasts.

## Article

A new AI weather forecasting startup outperformed world-leading government-run systems, the latest evidence of the technology disrupting a centuries-old science.

WindBorne Systems five-day forecasts are reportedly as accurate as cutting-edge physics models one-day predictions, and require far less powerful machines.

Empirical weather forecasting dates back to the 1860s, but AI is increasingly reshaping it: Since a Google DeepMind model beat the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts in 2024, the ECMWF has begun incorporating AI into its own forecasts.
