🔬“We have foundation models for language, not for physics” — Anima Anandkumar, Bren Professor of Computing

Professor Anima Anandkumar from Caltech has developed the FourCastNet model for weather prediction using AI, overcoming traditional challenges. This new model competes with the best available physics-based simulations, enabling anyone to accurately predict weather using consumer-grade GPUs. Anandkumar is a pioneer in studying continuous physical systems like weather, which require handling vast and complex data. Despite limited available data, the development of open-source models like FourCastNet marks a significant step towards improving weather prediction accuracy.
