The high-tech race to improve weather forecasting
April 20, 2026https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2023/07/26/the-high-tech-race-to-improve-weather-forecasting QT:{{” A 2021 collaboration between DeepMind, a part of Google, and the Met Office in Britain used AI to forecast precipitation based on observations from rain-detecting radar. The AI system outperformed existing, numerical forecasting methods nine times out of ten—though it started to stumble when asked to forecast beyond about 90 minutes. Other big firms with AI expertise are getting involved, too. A paper published in Nature on July 5th described Pangu-Weather, an AI system built by Huawei, a Chinese firm, and trained on 39 years of weather data. Huawei claims Pangu-Weather can produce week-ahead predictions comparable in accuracy to forecasts from outfits like ECMWF, but thousands of times faster. Last year Nvidia, an American chipmaker, claimed that FourCastNet, its AI weather program, could generate, in two seconds, a forecast that can predict hurricanes and heavy rain up to a week in advance. “}}

What Is Claude? Anthropic Doesn’t Know, Either

QT:{{” When the model predicts the next word, it is not doing so just on the basis of the words that came before. It is also “keeping in mind” all the words that might plausibly come after. It predicts the immediate future in the light of its predictions of the more distant future. Anthropic’s techniques verify this. When Batson clicked on the words “grab it,” at the end of the prompt, the network lit up with possibilities for not only the next word (“His”) but also those on the more distant horizon—the endgame of “habit” or “rabbit.” Batson compared Claude to a veteran backpacker on the Appalachian Trail: “Experienced through-hikers know to mail themselves peanut butter at some further stage. What the model is doing is like mailing itself the peanut butter of ‘rabbit.’ ”
