AI Models vs. Classical Weather Forecasting: Which Delivers Better Predictions? (heise.de)

• AI models like GraphCast are faster and cheaper than classical NWP.
• Classical models are superior for extreme weather and long-term forecasts.
• Hybrid approaches combining AI and physics simulation are considered the future.

"A comparison of AI-based weather models like GraphCast and traditional numerical weather prediction shows: AI often delivers faster and cheaper forecasts, but reaches limits with extreme events and long-term predictions. Classical physical simulation remains indispensable for such cases."
