GenCast is out in @Nature! It's the first high res ML ensemble weather forecast which outperformed the operational state of the art. And few more things have happened since the preprint was first released ⬇️🧵

Today in @Nature, we’re presenting GenCast: our new AI weather model which gives us the probabilities of different weather conditions up to 15 days ahead with state-of-the-art accuracy. ☁️���

Here’s how the technology works. 🧵https://t.co/PWCNWbQnlU

Forwarding these plots over from @FranklinJamesL’s BlueSky account. In 2025, the Google DeepMind model has outperformed everyone on track, including the NHC and the HCCA consensus. It is competitive with the NHC and HCCA on intensity as well, outperforming the hurricane models.

I had a great time speaking at Cambridge yesterday.

Thanks @PetarV_93 @pl219_Cambridge for the invite!

[Petar Veličković @PetarV_93]

We're starting now! 🥳🌦️

You may join us on Zoom if you are not in Cambridge today.

[Petar Veličković @PetarV_93]

I'm excited to share that we'll have @IlanPrice giving a talk @Cambridge_CL on GenCast -- a state-of-the-art model for probabilistic weather forecasting 🌦️⛈️⛅️

If you're in Cambridge next Weds (19 Feb), consider joining us -- it's open to all!

All details (+ Zoom link) below!

An AI-powered weather forecast model has just been unveiled by @GoogleDeepMind, and it's outperforming the current best products available! #gencast

A new A.I. tool from DeepMind, a Google company in London that develops A.I. applications, has achieved what its makers call unmatched skill and speed in devising 15-day weather forecasts. https://t.co/ij0Qtu7vzm

@joshbudlender @arindube @DanieleGirardi_ Congrats Josh! 👏💪

[Prof Tamsin Edwards @flimsin]

These are fun to record - we answer your climate Qs. Not sure how often I'll give a shout out in one programme to @GoogleDeepMind AI weather predictions (presented by @IlanPrice at @turinginst @Climformatics) and also to @billieeilish

[Ilan Price @IlanPrice]

@AndyBrnr Thank you!

🌍 GenCast update! 🌍 New highlights include 0.25° resolution, predicting extreme weather, cyclones, and wind power production. Across all our evaluations, GenCast is better than the world’s top operational medium-range weather forecast
