   Google's WeatherNext aided NHC's Hurricane Isaias forecasts

   Google DeepMind reposted Peter Battaglia's account saying that Hurricane Isaias made landfall in the Florida Panhandle last week and that the WeatherNext model assisted the National Hurricane Center's forecasters. Citing initial evaluations, the post says WeatherNext was the most accurate model on the storm's track, kept the projected landfall location within about 60 km up to three days ahead, and early on predicted intensification to a major hurricane. It also cites a Nature paper co-authored with NHC forecasters that evaluated more than 200 global tropical cyclones and found about one additional day of lead time for track and intensity, while noting performance varies from storm to storm.

   DeepMind, Google Cloud give 200 European researchers access to science AI models

   Google DeepMind and Google Cloud said they will give up to 200 European scientific researchers direct access to their frontier AI models plus $3 million in compute credits, delivered through the EU's RAISE programme. The models include AlphaFold 3 for predicting the structure of proteins and other molecules, the weather-forecasting model WeatherNext, DNA-focused AlphaGenome, the algorithm-designing agent AlphaEvolve and AlphaEarth Foundations, which maps the planet from satellite data. Google did not say how researchers will be selected, when access will begin, or how the credits will be divided among them.
