NVIDIA Earth-2: OSS and Science for AI Weather and Climate | Ubuntu Summit 26.04

Discover how NVIDIA Earth-2 brings open source software and open science to weather and climate forecasting.

Niall Robinson (NVIDIA) introduces a new way of making production-ready weather AI fully accessible for organizations to run, fine-tune, and deploy on their own infrastructure: NVIDIA Earth-2.

With open technologies – pretrained models, frameworks, customization recipes, and inference libraries – NVIDIA Earth-2 speeds up all forecasting stages, from processing initial observation data, to generating 15-day global forecasts or local storm forecasts. It is the first open, accelerated set of models and tools that enables developers to bring disparate weather and climate AI capabilities together.
