Argonne extends its battery-materials foundation model toward molecular crystals, ECMWF's AIFS remains the operational benchmark, NOAA's GraphCast-derived models keep outperforming legacy systems, and a 45-year GraphCast hindcast archive opens up new climate research.
GenCast's peer-reviewed Nature results are genuinely strong — beating ECMWF's ensemble system on 97.2% of verification targets. Now NVIDIA's open-source Earth-2 suite claims to beat GenCast too, but that comparison isn't independently verified yet.
