@kazani: WindBorne Systems' AI forecasts match physics models with less compute

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.
