Although it's great to see these advancements, I would like to see it integrated with the Google Weather results that show up in search and on Android devices before I get excited. Spinning up the model on my own hardware and feeding it data manually is a decent amount of work, and I'm too lazy to do that.
It's a medium-range global model, while Google Weather (which I don't have) is mostly about local short-range weather? But Google Weather is already based on an AI prediction on most cities: https://research.google/blog/metnet-3-a-state-of-the-art-neu...
Google says GenCast forecasts will later be available from them too.
Also ECMWF runs a very similar diffusion model, it's not operational but run a couple of times a day with results available on their graph site (and as data files too I guess): https://charts.ecmwf.int/
