WindBorne Systems has released WeatherMesh-6 (WM-6), an AI-powered global weather model that demonstrates superior accuracy and lead times compared to leading operational models like ECMWF's IFS and Google DeepMind's AIFS. WM-6 operates at a 0.25-degree resolution and offers a significantly larger output catalog of atmospheric, surface, and soil parameters, enabling advanced applications in sectors such as energy and agriculture. The model also features a more calibrated ensemble in latent space, outperforming AIFS in Continuous Ranked Probability Score (CRPS) and providing realistic, physically coherent ensemble members for detailed scenario analysis and extreme-event detection.
