GitHub - microsoft/aurora: Implementation of the Aurora model for Earth system forecasting Implementation of the Aurora model for Earth system forecasting - microsoft/aurora

Aurora is fully open! 🥳

The air pollution model 🌬️, the ocean wave model 🌊, and the TC tracker 🌀 are now available on GitHub.

And that's not all: all model weights (pretrained and fine-tuned) are now released under the MIT license. 😎

Thanks Marwin! :) I'll remain based in Utrecht, but I hope to come visit regularly.

Exciting job update! I am now with the Alan Turing Institute in London. Our team’s goal is to advance the SOTA in environmental forecasting using end-to-end ML :). Do reach out if you’d like to chat.

Each sphere is surrounded by small white particles that appear to be floating around them. The background is a gradient of dark teal to black.

Microsoft researchers achieved a breakthrough in the accuracy of DFT, a method for predicting the properties of molecules and materials, by using deep learning. This work can lead to better batteries, green fertilizers, precision drug discovery, and more. www.microsoft.com/en-us/resear...

🚀 After two+ years of intense research, we’re thrilled to introduce Skala — a scalable deep learning density functional that hits chemical accuracy on atomization energies and matches hybrid-level accuracy on main group chemistry — all at the cost of semi-local DFT ⚛️🔥🧪🧬

Microsoft’s Aurora AI foundation model goes beyond weather forecasting Aurora, an AI foundation revolutionizes weather and environmental forecasting with accuracy, speed and efficiency.

A new paper published in Nature explains how Microsoft’s Aurora AI foundation model goes beyond weather forecasting to more accurately predict a range of environmental events, from hurricanes and typhoons to air quality and ocean waves. aka.ms/AAvgi2k
