Assertion Supported
DeepMind's GraphCast model generates 10-day global weather forecasts in one minute
“And by the way, the entire graph cast model runs in one minute. So you basically input current weather data, and you input weather data from six hours ago, and in a minute, you get all the forecasts.”
David Friedberg Nov 17, 2023 ▶ 1:50:35 In conversation with Dean Phillips

Assertion Supported
Friedberg: Google DeepMind published GraphCast, a 37M parameter weather AI model
“Published a paper in the journal Science this week introducing GraphCast, which is actually a publicly available model that does weather forecasting using machine learned models. It's a thirty seven million parameter model.”
