Researchers have published a paper exploring the underlying physical principles that AI weather models might be simulating. The study suggests that despite architectural differences, various AI models represent atmospheric behavior in similar ways. The paper proposes that these models may be implementing a particle-based description of the atmosphere, with particle movements guided by a learned free energy functional. AI
