Google and DeepMind have released WeatherNext 3, an AI weather model that uses live geostationary satellite data rather than traditional physics simulations, according to the report. Google says it generates hourly forecasts at up to five-kilometer resolution and now powers weather features in Search, Maps, Gemini, the Maps Platform Weather API and Earth Engine. The company also says researchers, developers and businesses can access the data through BigQuery, Earth Engine and Cloud Storage.
