What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-07-21

Proceed with caution

Why
Headline speed and accuracy gains are real, peer-reviewed, and backed by concrete cyclone-tracking wins, but verified weakness against ground observations and on extremes means it must not replace physics-based forecasts for high-stakes hazard prediction yet.
Next
Run a shadow comparison against incumbent NWP and against local station observations before any operational reliance, especially for extreme-event use cases
