Google DeepMind has released WeatherNext 3, an upgrade to its AI weather model that generates hourly forecasts on a 5-kilometer grid, five times finer than its predecessor. The improvement comes from feeding the model live satellite imagery and sparse weather station readings instead of relying mainly on lagging numerical prediction data.
Google DeepMind has released WeatherNext 3, a new AI-driven global weather model that the company says improves precipitation forecast accuracy by up to 50% for predictions made a day or more ahead. The system is positioned as an upgrade over prior AI weather tools and traditional forecasting methods.
Google has introduced WeatherNext 3, its newest AI-driven weather forecasting model, which will feed into Search, Gemini and Maps. Unlike its predecessor, which updated every six hours at a 25km resolution, the new model can refresh hourly and pinpoint conditions down to 5km by incorporating live satellite data instead of older simulation outputs.
Google has introduced WeatherNext 3, a new AI-driven forecasting system meant to replace or augment traditional numerical weather prediction methods. The system aims to deliver faster, less computationally expensive forecasts while maintaining or improving accuracy compared to physics-based models.
Google DeepMind and Google Research launched WeatherNext 3, a deep-learning forecasting model that outperformed rival AI systems from Microsoft, Nvidia and ECMWF, as well as traditional forecasts from the US National Weather Service and ECMWF, on the Operational WeatherBench benchmark. Google says the model will soon power weather data shown in Search, Maps and Gemini, and will also be offered to researchers and developers through its cloud platform.
Google has released WeatherNext 3, an updated AI weather forecasting model that generates hourly predictions using live satellite observations rather than relying solely on historical data. The model can resolve certain variables like temperature and moisture at up to 5-kilometer resolution, a sharp improvement over its predecessor's 25-kilometer, 6-hourly forecasts.
