DeepMind Unveils AI for Weather and 3D Worlds - Google DeepMind has introduced two advanced AI models: GenCast and Genie 2. GenCast revolutionizes weather forecasting, outperforming systems like ECMWF by providing more accurate predictions with less computing power. It can generate 15-day forecasts in just eight minutes and is available as open-source on GitHub.
In contrast, Genie 2 creates interactive 3D game worlds from text prompts. While it enables the creation of complex virtual environments, it currently struggles with stability. Details about its release remain undisclosed, highlighting deep potential for AI in both meteorology and gaming.
