Microsofts Aurora AI Revolutionizes Weather Forecasting - Microsoft has introduced Aurora AI, a cutting-edge model that improves the accuracy and speed of weather predictions. Trained on over a million hours of atmospheric data, Aurora forecasts events such as air quality changes and typhoons more precisely than traditional methods.
Aurora demonstrated its capabilities by accurately predicting Typhoon Doksuri's landfall four days in advance and surpassing the National Hurricane Center in tropical cyclone forecasting. The AI model quickly generates forecasts in seconds, is integrated into Microsoft's MSN Weather app for hourly updates, and its source code and model weights are shared publicly for broader use.
