AI weather models optimized with post-training quantization

Researchers have explored the impact of post-training quantization (PTQ) on autoregressive weather forecasting models. This study implemented PTQ algorithms in the Deep Learning Weather Prediction (DLWP) and FourCastNet (FCN) models to assess its effects on inference speed and power consumption. The findings suggest that PTQ can yield qualitatively meaningful forecasts over short-time horizons, establishing a benchmark for optimizing deep learning models in geophysical fluid dynamics. AI

IMPACT Post-training quantization could enable more efficient deployment of AI weather models on edge devices and reduce computational costs.
