I'm almost shocked we don't have a large weather model instead of a language model. Seems right up the alley.

Also I don't get what happened but I think it was AccuWeather or weather underground in the early 2000s where it was to the minute accurate and it seems like it's gotten worse since everywhere.

I think Google's weather models could be called LWMs. They're doing interesting research in this space.

We do have such models. A bunch of them actually:

- Google DeepMind's "WeatherNext2" - Microsoft's Aurora - NVIDIA's FourCastNet-3 + Atlas + Climate-in-a-Bottle - ECMWF's AIFS ...

The list goes on. Plenty of small startups have repeated the recipe for building these types of models with their own architectural twist, too.

> it makes me very curious about what they’ve created this time

The rainbow and sunset alerts are really cool ideas. I'm now realising that a simple tie-in to astronomical phenomena could prompt a useful notificationa around it e.g. being worth going stargazing that night. I ski–learning that the near-term forecasts just changed would help me change my schedule the day before versus trying and failing the morning of.
