AI Weather Revolution: NVIDIA’s Earth-2 Unveiled
NVIDIA has dramatically reshaped the landscape of climate technology with the launch of “Earth-2,” the world’s first fully open accelerated AI weather stack, promising unprecedented access and accuracy in weather forecasting.

Open Access to Predictive Power
The Earth-2 family of open models and tools, accessible to virtually anyone from tech startups to national meteorological agencies, is breaking down the barriers traditionally held by massive government supercomputers and their complex physics-based equations.

Atlas: Hyper-Accurate 15-Day Forecasts
The Atlas model, a key component of Earth-2, utilizes a new architecture to predict over 70 weather variables, including wind, humidity, and pressure, with high accuracy, consistently outperforming the leading GenCast model across the majority of these variables, enabling detailed 15-day forecasts.

Data Assimilation for Real-Time Insights
Earth-2’s Global Data Assimilation component utilizes sophisticated algorithms to ingest and process vast amounts of observational data, providing the foundation for accurate, real-time weather predictions and driving the entire forecasting process.

Industry Adoption: Energy, Insurance, and Risk Management
Major players like Brightband, AXA, S&P Global Energy, and the Israel Meteorological Service are already leveraging Earth-2’s speed and accuracy, with the CorrDiff model reducing compute time by 90% while generating high-resolution forecasts, impacting energy trading, risk assessment, and operational efficiency.

AI Innovation Beyond Weather: NVIDIA’s Expanding Portfolio
Beyond weather forecasting, NVIDIA continues to drive innovation with key releases including OpenTSLM, ViPE, DiffusionRenderer, FG2, and advancements in robotics, showcasing the company’s broader AI advancements and expanding its impact across diverse industries.

Optimized Inference with DeepSpeed Compression
NVIDIA’s Jean-Marc Mommessin recently released “DeepSpeed Compression,” a Python-based library designed for extreme model compression and zero-cost quantization, aiming to significantly accelerate inference speeds and reduce the size of deep learning models.
