AI weather startup outperforms official forecasts

WindBorne Systems, an AI weather forecasting startup, outperformed government-run systems with five-day forecasts as accurate as one-day physics models. AI is increasingly reshaping weather forecasting, with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts adopting AI after a 2024 Google DeepMind model victory. Private forecasts are gaining relevance amid U.S. National Weather Service funding cuts and rising demand for energy projections linked to renewable energy.
