there has been great quantitative data by @andymasley.bsky.social on one side of this equation (actual resource usage), it seems more challenging but worthwhile to quantify the other side of the equation as well. deepmind.google/science/weat...

WeatherNext is not an LLM chatbot.

I was wondering why Google's weather information was increasingly diverging from local news reports, what thermometers were showing or, y'know, what I can see out of my window.

Google is just making up the weather now.

Its WeatherNext model, which will be open-sourced, can accurately predict both a storm’s track and intensity using lower-resolution weather data. Researchers don't yet fully understand how it does this. www.wired.com/story/deepmi...

On the wind forecast point, this wasn't supposed to be a problem anymore. Google claimed to have basically solved it for energy traders with DeepMind so god knows what NESO is up to....will have to dig into that one a bit more...

I used to work at Google Research on the team that would eventually become the WeatherNext project. I'm so proud of this incredible scientific accomplishment by my colleagues -- it predicts the near impossible while helping literally billions of people.
WeatherNext3 predicts a variety of weather variables down to 9 km resolution and temperature/humidity down to 3 km resolution.

This tech will be really valuable for optimizing renewables, data center locations, and allowing farmers to plan ahead.

When people say LLMs are autocomplete, it's not a pejorative, but an accurate description. They aren't against autocomplete. They are saying the spicy autocomplete isn't conscious, does not have cognition.

Pointing out WeatherNext is a transformer model too completely misunderstands LLM criticism.
mk.gg Matt Kane @mk.gg · Aug 8
Did I say they were? They're both transformer models though and fundamentally are autocomplete, except this one works by predicting the next atmospheric state rather than the next token.

"WeatherNext: AI model achieves breakthrough in forecasting cyclones."

So let me get this straight… AI advances climate change with data centers, to predict the consequences of climate change. 🙃
