Aurora 1.5 adds 22 more variables, hourly temporal resolution, and probabilistic ensemble forecasting to the Aurora foundation model, making it more useful for real-world weather, climate, and energy applications. www.microsoft.com/en-us/resear...

We're hiring! The Aardvark Weather team is looking for a Senior Research Associate in end-to-end AI weather forecasting Looking for experience in vision language models, Earth system forecasting, deep generative models, + strong software engineering cezanneondemand.intervieweb.it/turing/jobs/...

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. 😎 GitHub: github.com/microsoft/au... #AIforGood

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. 😊 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Rich Turner with other members of our group recently published a paper on Aardvark — end-to-end weather prediction with deep learning — in Nature, and it was just featured in The Guardian and Financial Times! www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Incredibly excited to see that Aardvark-Weather is finally out in Nature!! An amazing project with a truly fantastic team. The lead authors Anna Allen and Stratis Markou have worked really really hard to make this project happen. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

`fasttransform` has just been released, and it's powered by Plum (`plum-dispatch`)! 🚀 Very exciting! Check out their release post, and check out Plum on GitHub to see what Plum can do for you. www.fast.ai/posts/2025-0... github.com/beartype/plum

🎉Excited to announce major new breakthroughs in our Aurora foundation model! Our team (@cbodnar.com, @wessel.ai, @megstanley.bsky.social, @a-lucic.bsky.social, Anna Vaughan) has achieved unprecedented results across multiple Earth system forecasting tasks. Here's what's new... 🧵
