👋 Hey everyone! Google just launched WeatherNext 2. It’s their most advanced AI weather model yet! Up to 8× faster, hour-level resolution, and able to generate hundreds of realistic forecast scenarios from a single starting point. It now powers weather in Search, Gemini, Pixel, and Google Maps, and is available in Earth Engine, BigQuery, and Vertex AI.

@byalexai Aleksandar, is this an API devs used in their weather apps or an app we can use to check weather or a model that Google uses into their products?

Congrats on the launch! ⚡ As a user, I’m curious, how does WeatherNext 2 stay 8× faster while still capturing extreme events with that new generative model?
