An AI just beat the supercomputer on weather. 97% of the time.

DeepMind's WeatherNext 2 just beat ECMWF — the world's best physics-based weather forecast since 1975 — on 97.2% of 1,320 evaluation targets. And it ran 8× faster than the supercomputer it beat.

The receipts:

↳ 97.2% win rate over ECMWF across 1,320 metrics
↳ 8× faster forecast generation than the supercomputer
↳ Can predict cyclone paths 15 days ahead — the atmosphere's hardest problem
↳ Hurricane Melissa (2025): predicted Cat-5 intensity from Cat-1 observed winds, 5 days early
↳ National Hurricane Center adopted WeatherNext operationally. Handoff already happened.
↳ The model doesn't know physics. It learned patterns from decades of data.

If a model that doesn't know physics predicts the storm better — what is physics for?
