Google’s Weather AI Gets Further Speed Boost: 5km-Resolution Forecasts, Updated Hourly

43 minutes ago

Beating AI News Flash: Google DeepMind and Google Research have released WeatherNext 3, a global weather forecasting model integrated directly with real-time global satellite observations, capable of regenerating global forecasts every hour. The previous WeatherNext 2 operated on a 25-kilometer grid with 6-hour intervals; the new model boosts maximum grid resolution to approximately 5 kilometers for surface variables like temperature and humidity. Precipitation and snowfall forecasting were key focus areas for improvements. WeatherNext 3 was trained using NASA satellite precipitation data and radar data. Google says that for forecasts of one day or longer, precipitation prediction accuracy can improve by up to 50%. Traditional AI weather models often produced overly vague forecasts for localized heavy rainstorms; this update primarily enhances details for such rapidly changing weather events. WeatherNext 3 is now integrated with Google Search, Gemini, Maps, the Google Maps Platform Weather API, and Earth Engine. Developers can also access forecast data via BigQuery, Earth Engine, and Google Cloud Storage. Traditional physical weather models will not disappear anytime soon. WeatherNext 3’s training still incorporates data from these models, and meteorological agencies typically combine multiple forecast sets when issuing disaster warnings. Google itself reminds users that severe weather and public safety warnings should still be based on local meteorological authorities.

Crypto Meme project MEME’s market capitalization briefly surged past $130 million, marking a new all-time high.

According to GMGN data, the meme stock crypto project MEME on Robinhood Chain has been rallying, with its market capitalization briefly surging past $130 million to a new all-time high before pulling back to $115 million. The token has surged over 1,000% in 24 hours, with trading volume reaching $77.8 million. MEME leverages Robinhood, a stock trading platform, pairing with tokenized US theater chain AMC Entertainment (stock ticker: AMC) as its liquidity pool, providing liquidity via the MEME/AMC trading pair. BlockBeats Note: Stock Meme is an emerging concept that combines traditional meme coins with tokenized US stocks. Unlike meme coins paired with USDT or ETH, these tokens are directly paired with on-chain US stock tokens (such as NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, etc.). This model retains meme coins' high volatility and community-driven speculative traits, while tying to the popularity and narrative of real stocks. A portion of transaction fees often flows back to the community treasury to accumulate corresponding US stock tokens, forming a dual-driven mechanism of "sentiment speculation + real asset anchoring". Price fluctuations are significant, so investment requires caution.

AMC CEO responds to Robinhood CEO: Demands an end to AMC stock token trading, plans to seek legal action to halt it.

AMC CEO Adam Aron responded to Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, saying Tenev’s concerns about AMC’s stock tokens are “almost existential for the company.” He questioned why Robinhood, a U.S.-based firm, is able to issue products that purportedly represent AMC stock but fail to comply with U.S. securities laws via an offshore entity based in Jersey. Aron noted that AMC spends millions of dollars annually to adhere to U.S. securities regulations, adding that Robinhood’s so-called “synthetic equity market” could decouple stock token trading from the financing arrangements of listed companies. Traditional stockholders hold rights such as voting, but Aron argued that stock tokens do not represent actual equity, meaning investors cannot access corresponding shareholder rights. Aron demanded that Tenev and Robinhood voluntarily halt AMC stock token trading; otherwise, AMC has retained external securities lawyers to explore measures to force Robinhood to cease such activity. He also said he will submit inquiries to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding Robinhood’s practices. Earlier reports stated that Aron released a statement this morning revealing Robinhood is advancing a tokenized real-world asset and stock token project involving AMC and more than 190 other companies. Aron clarified that AMC has no connection to the project, does not endorse the practices involved, and will immediately retain external securities lawyers to review the matter. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev responded that there is no need for concern.
