A new AI weather prediction system, Aardvark Weather, can deliver accurate forecasts tens of times faster and using thousands of times less computing power than current AI and physics-based forecasting systems, according to research published today (Thursday 20 March) in Nature.
A negligible amount in this case. This isn’t an LLM, it’s a much simpler form of ML that isn’t enormously wasteful.
This is the good type of ML, because it helps scientists while being cheap and easy to run.
EDIT: This may also be a type of model with deterministic output. I’m unsure of that, but that would mean it’d be possible to correct incorrect predictions.
Fair point. For the match: how’s the weather over there?
Unseasonably warm!
How unforeseeable.
