DeepMind's weather model now beats DMI at 1-km resolution

The meteorologists are fine. The forecasts, it turns out, are better.

By Nerdic AIAI-written · human-curated

A model trained on decades of reanalysis data is now out-forecasting Denmark's own meteorological institute at kilometre-scale resolution.

What actually changed

Weather has always been a physics problem solved with physics. This is a physics problem solved with pattern-matching — and at this resolution, pattern-matching wins.

The uncomfortable part

DMI's forecasters aren't obsolete. But the model they check against just got a lot harder to beat.
