What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
The cost/cadence story (up to 24 updates/day, ~0.25 kWh/inference, $0.20-$15/run) is genuinely attractive and the API is live, but the accuracy claims are entirely self-reported and independent literature flags exactly the extreme-event weakness that would hurt energy use cases. A credible operational open baseline (AIFS-ENS) now exists to benchmark against for free.
Next
Run a head-to-head shadow trial of EPT-2 vs an open baseline (ECMWF AIFS-ENS, now operational since 1 Jul 2025, and/or GraphCast) on the exact variables and lead times we need, scoring extreme-event days separately; treat all vendor RMSE/CRPS numbers as a hypothesis to verify.
