The Allen Institute has worked on it for a while, and has hired quite a few PhDs (https://allenai.org/climate-modeling https://allenai.org/climate-modeling).
- lainga 3y agoHow long? The cloud microparameterisation looks really exciting, but 10-year stability for a GCM (and "nearly conserving" water) is not great
- tony_cannistra 3y agoI'm not sure. NVIDIA is also working on it (with, interestingly, some of the original AI2 folks). Similar to the DeepMind effort, the ACE ML model that AI2+others developed is really just looking for parity with physical models at this stage. It looks like they've almost achieved this, with similar massive improvements in compute time + resource needs.

- Lacerda69 3y agoif you don't hire phds you're not serious about it
- tony_cannistra 3y agoin this particular case, most of the important/needle-moving work being done in climate modeling is done with a hell of a lot of context about prior work. PhDs have that, by necessity. They're also good at prioritizing outcomes, rather than other stuff.
- devindotcom 3y agoyep I just talked to one of the climsim guys and included the project in my writeup of this news: https://techcrunch.com/2023/11/14/courtesy-of-ai-weather-forecasts-for-the-hour-the-week-and-the-century/ https://techcrunch.com/2023/11/14/courtesy-of-ai-weather-for...
