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. 😎

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.

Come to our seminar with @wessel.ai on "Foundation Models for the Earth System", it's going to be a cracker! It's open to non-UCL people also.

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 ⚛️🔥🧪🧬

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

Explore the future of environmental forecasting with Aurora, an AI model from Microsoft Research. In this Abstracts episode, Megan Stanley and Wessel Bruinsma discuss how Aurora is redefining tropical cyclone and ocean wave forecasting. msft.it/6018Sdhn8

Big news!! 🚀 Aurora, a foundation model for the Earth system, has been published in @nature.com.

A massive congrats to the whole team! Very proud of this achievement, and thrilled to see that it’s finally out there. 😊
