What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Fully open Apache-2.0 stack on GPU lowers cost and friction dramatically, but the headline GenCast-beating claims are vendor-stated and unverified, and AI models systematically underestimate extremes (Science Advances), so it is an input not a sole source.
Next
Pull Atlas + StormScope from Earth2Studio (Apache 2.0) and benchmark against an in-house ERA5/IFS baseline before any operational reliance; gate severe-weather decisions on a physics-model cross-check.
