Overview

• Aardvark Weather replaces traditional forecasting pipelines with a single AI model, enabling predictions in minutes on standard desktop computers.
• Research published in Nature confirms Aardvark outperforms the US GFS system on key variables while using just 10% of the input data.
• The system's flexibility allows for tailored forecasts, supporting industries like agriculture in Africa and renewable energy in Europe.
• Aardvark's efficiency and low resource demands aim to democratize forecasting, making advanced tools accessible to developing nations and data-sparse regions.
• Future plans include deploying Aardvark in the Global South and expanding its applications to broader Earth system challenges like disaster prediction and air quality monitoring.
