Accelerating Climate Modeling with Generative AI
A climate model combining generative AI and physics data is 25 times faster than the state of the art

Published Date

…

Climate simulations are currently very expensive to generate because of their complexity. As a result, scientists and policymakers can only run simulations for a limited amount of time and consider only limited scenarios.

…

“One of the main advantages over a conventional diffusion model (DM) is that our model is much more efficient. It may be possible to generate just as realistic and accurate predictions with conventional DMs but not with such speed,” the researchers write.

In addition to running much faster than state of the art, the model is also nearly as accurate without being anywhere near as computationally expensive.
